I was recently diagnosed with RA also, but because I have been taking aspirin 3x day for ordinary arthritis, I still had a low CRP. I now take it 4x per day, on schedule and with food.
Statins aren't the only way to lower CRP. ;-D

How's your stomach doing? And, how's your RA? (My condolences for the diagnosis....I KNOW what IT'S like!)

The aspirin will reduce the inflammation but not kill the microbacteria that is probably causing the inflammation. Ask your doc about adding an antibiotic like doxycycline.

You might also benefit from the Vitamin C/lysine/proline therapy that Dr. Pauling and others have come up with years ago (but other docs scoffed at for years until they realized it had merit).
