@Christina-212 Thank you 😊 Had my ESR blood test on June 2024, it was 7.3 Now I am waiting for my hs-CRP. Last year, I had my CRP, and it was within normal limits.
Dear Doctor, thank you for making this video. This is my first and last comment (hopefully) in any social media. You have some extraordinary intelligence, people look for symptoms and ignore the root cause or indicators like inflammation. And you said it right, the majority of doctors ignore these parameters. Thanks for the awareness 😊. Salute
Wish had found it sooner. Been having health issues for years and finally got tested just last week for inflammation. WBC 11.3x10/(9)/L, Neutro Absolute 8.24x10(9)/L, Sed Rate 66mm/hr, CRP 38.0 mg/L. Hopefully the doctor pays a closer attention now and I can find a way forward. If not, will have to find a doc who does. Thank you for making this video.
Finding a doctor who can help you with a program to health improvement is major. Many doctors are restricted on helping because of insurance restrictions or it’s beyond their scope of knowledge.
Worked with 2 functional med drs for over a year. Ferritin is 199. CRP is 5.13. Homocystine is 9.7. I'm at a loss. Spent close to $13K for no improvement.
@@alexiswinter6948 doesn’t sound like a very functional approach. This is why I tell patients to make sure your doctor is certified in functional medicine.
Thank you for a great educational video Dr. Hagmeyer. Do I need a doctor's note or can a private lab check my cs-CRP levels without a doctor's note? Best wishes.
My CRP and SED Rate are extremely high, but everything I’m being tested for keeps coming back negative. I’m miserable, I can’t keep living like this. The headaches are killing me. I’m also suffering from syncope’s as well. Cognitively, I know I’m declining. I’m having a hard time remembering things, I can’t get my words/thoughts out. My eye check came back okay but my vision is severely impacted. My joints hurt really bad, especially my shoulders and ankles. These inflammation markers have been severely elevated since 2020 and was discovered after I first got Covid. I need answers, again it’s hard to live like this.
Try an elimation diet or even the fodmap diet A low carb diet works for me Gluten, milk, corn, almonds, tomatoe are poison for me I also take magnessium, potassium and vitamin D3
No that’s a good if you have Crohns ! Now Keep It that way! Get your Calprotectin levels checked! www.drhagmeyer.com/fecal-calprotectin-test-why-your-levels-are-elevated/
Hi doc my self shaheen I m 38 year old female my esr level is high I have cervical issue and ibs 10 hb an 200 Colestrol taking a lot of stress always esr 75 Crp normal doctor told me to follow healthy diet and routine after 2 month re test will done bcoz they didn’t find any symptoms other than thease low vitamin d 15 only he said you have inflammation bcoz of disc issue may be this is the reason you please help me I m dying with tension
@@DrRichardHagmeyer thanks for answering. But what about Ayurveda's cleaning intestines protocol it's called Shank Prakshalana and it goes all over the digestive track from muth to anus.
There is a bowl cleansing speciality where a practitioner inserts an intestinal bowl flush. Goes beyond a home enema. Sometimes natural ingredient, aloe or coffee enema is used. It doesn’t hurt. I don’t know the name of this practice.
I actually wish some here could give me answers blistering and bruising on fingers no injuries , Rheumatoid Factor Anti-Nuclear Antibodies, ENA/CTD Screening Test negative also just did double stranded dna + b12 also negative did fbc and this came back ESR = 1 b12 result = 210
All good Doc. but it would be nice to know units when you are giving us numbers. For instance for Ferritin you advise fo 80-100 range but you failed to provide UNITS of measure. Not everyone lives in the USA wink, wink. thank you
I have primary Addison’s disease, primary sjorgrens and hypothyroid. I have antibodies for DM/PM, lupus and scleroderma. What’s the likelihood I will end up with more autoimmune diseases knowing I already have these antibodies?
Unfortunately it’s very likely. Visit my website to learn more. You need to identify the triggers behind your immune system imbalance, only then will you alleviate the burden on your immune system and stat stabilizing it. Luckily, we now know that there is not only a genetic component but an epigenetic component to autoimmunity. Lots of information on this channel that pertain to this very topic.
@@sethu8800 great question! They are linked to one another. IL6 stimulates liver to make CRP. Testing IL-6 is not readily available but CRP is. This is why I recommend CRP- 👍🏻

What did they think was causing the chronic inflammation?
@@DrRichardHagmeyer The first addressed glucose. The second, his only goal was to get me hooked on thyroid meds.
@@alexiswinter6948 doesn’t sound like a very functional approach. This is why I tell patients to make sure your doctor is certified in functional medicine.
@@DrRichardHagmeyer Both are certified with over 30 years experience each. They said if I resolve other issues the inflammation will go away.
"other issues"?
Excellent video. Very helpful. Thankyou.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for a great educational video Dr. Hagmeyer.
Do I need a doctor's note or can a private lab check my cs-CRP levels without a doctor's note?
Best wishes.
Not sure to be honest.
@DrRichardHagmeyer Thank you for your response. I'll just call the lab and find out. Have a great day.
I am very interested in your treatment but I live in the United Kingdom. Do you treat patients here?
Excellent.
Now we can make sense of our lab results!
Excellent!
Could my back or muscle injury be the reason for a small increase in CRP from 0.6 to 2.3 But my ferritin is low somewhere 35? Thanks a lot
Any type of inflammation can cause a rise in CRP. CRP can be caused by serious infection, injury or chronic disease
@@DrRichardHagmeyer Thank you again! 👍🏻

And I’m losing all my hair too.
I’m not sure what was checked but sometimes underlying infections in the mouth and gut can cause this.
Try an elimation diet or even the fodmap diet
A low carb diet works for me
Gluten, milk, corn, almonds, tomatoe are poison for me
I also take magnessium, potassium and vitamin D3
I’m diagnosed w crohn with 0.06 CRP, is to worry about to have it that low?

Thanks.
I was tested by ESR, from 75 down to 25, is it good news?
Great news!!! But it’s still high. Keepmdoing what your doing and recheck in another 3-4 months.
Thank you Dr. I was wondering your thoughts on intestinal cleaning, edemas for ibs, sibo etc 🙏🏻
Enema does not reach the location where bacterial overgrowth and yeast hide out. They are further up in intestines.

Thats awesome! Never stop learning.
Just learning all this
What about IL6?
@@sethu8800 great question! They are linked to one another. IL6 stimulates liver to make CRP. Testing IL-6 is not readily available but CRP is. This is why I recommend CRP- 👍🏻
My CRP is 7mg/L
RF 30.2 UI/ml
HDL 0.9 mmol/L
B12 109ng/L
Folate 1.5 ug/L
Been waiting a month for a gp to tell me what they mean.
Yikes that’s a bit long.
What is the test for high LPS level in blood ?
I've had crp test but it's only 3 but I feel Inflammation in my body
That’s high. Your high risk
How do you know from where the inflammation is coming from? What is the process of investigation?
@@AkshithReddie that’s where you need to work with a doctor who can the pieces of the puzzle 🧩 together. Glad you found video helpful
Where do you recommend homicysteine?
between 5-7
I had to twist my PCP to include crp, esr in yearly physical. I think she might be a quack
Maybe not a quack 🤷🏻just not up to speed on how to evaluate patients like you.
I have also mild gastritis
What’s causing your gastritis? That certainly could do it!

What to do if I have low fasting insulin (2,6)? I am gaining weight + many symptoms of inflammation.
First find out what’s causing your low fasting insulin. Then you can determine best course of action.
Would histamine intolerance cause Hs Crp marker to be out of range?

How about elevated platelet count? My doctor keeps ignoring it. They don't know what to do.
@@samanthahallenus6362 platelets can go up because of inflammation, thyroid disease, autoimmune disorders, bone marrow problems, infections, etc, etc.

Is ferritin 80-100 ug/l? Mines 232
80-100 ng/ml you will need to convert if you don’t use those units.
