I agree with what the others have said. Yes, 298 is elevated but the fact that you have this diagnosis, it is not surprising. I have been in the 4,000's before, during a horrific flare. My last results showed 750. Of course, our goal is to be in normal range but again, I wouldn't take your result as alarming. Are you on any treatment at the moment? Definitely to help this number go down you need to lower inflammation which could be done through diet, lifestyle change and supplementation. -Elizabeth (team member)
