Has a one had issues with their c reactive protein dropping to ridiculously low levels during a flare? My normal c reactive protein is around .9 mg/l but during a flare, my c reactive protein drops to .001 mg/l. I haven’t spoken to the rheumatologist, but my neurologist said that Lupus is the only autoimmune disease in which the c reactive protein doesn’t increase.

I have dry spots on both arms and the back of my legs! It’s maddening. I use coconut oil after my shower and only wear cotton clothing. Sometimes my clothes irritate my skin .

I’ve always had my left food super dry but my right foot is soft! It drives me crazy. No matter how much lotion I use or pedicures I get, that foot is always dry! I also get red rashes that itch if I’m exposed to the sun! So I always use 100 spf
