Hai,
Thanks for writing in,
I saw your reports. The tests done on 22-sep-2012 suggests that you are suffering from Inflammatory arthritis - Rheumatoid arthritis. But within 3 days the values are within range. Did you took any medications during those 3 days of interval period?
Please clarify.

Answer to your query - No medications were taken
Hai,
Thanks for clarifying,
Sometimes after high doses of steriods the values can fall down. Going by your complaints, i still would like to rule out possibility of Inflammatory arthritis. I would suggest you to repeat ESR,CRP and RA factor alone after a week, in some other good laboratory.
Get well soon.
