So when I would have the nodules on my finger they would put me on prednisone for 7 days and tell me no salt and not smoked meats.

Hang in there.. it all sounds overwhelming but you will get through this. I’ve found out over the years Im stronger than i ever thought possible... through the grace of God and some great medications. Praying for you.

I have both positive factors but my CRP levels are usually relatively low but are there. I’ve been through more med changes then i can count but started infusions of rituxan yesterday and have had more relief than any there I’ve tried. Having both positive factors has made mine tricky to treat whereas I’d have temporary relief of any from other therapies. As i said though, my CRP levels are low, usu single digits.

I'll keep you in my prayers 🙏. Love and hugs

I have them too they are quite painful when I'm in a flare and like you i knock them regularly
