Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from rheumatoid Arthritis. In my opinion disease modifying agent in rheumatoid Arthritis are to be taken life long at maintenance doses.Otherwise there are chances of reactivation of disease. Now your CRP is 22, I fear whether it is due to reactivation of rheumatoid arthritis.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
