Test show I developed antibodies and not enough Humira in my body.

Also my Hemoglobin is down and my c reactive protein WAS 6.1 and 3 months later is 23.7

I know this sounds dumb, but I used a different lab agency. Could that explain a higher number?

I feel fine and I've actually been eating salads over the last month (really weird)

Billo, there are such things as labs making errors. You can ask for a retest & see what the numbers are. If they come back the same, then you need to move to something else, perhaps Stelara. Let us know what you find out.

I truly hope this is an error.

thanks, it just seems odd. Would you recommend me using my original lab office? or the new one that I got the higher numbers from?

Yes, if you can go back to your regular lab I would do it. Is it possible to get a lab slip today, this is a holiday weekend.

Chances are the labs are right but the salads are tearing up your gut on the way out. You may be bleeding and not realize it, hence lower hemoglobin and increased CRP. You can be flaring and still feel ok. I would try to cleAn up your diet first.
Good luck !
