Stupid question(s) for a non-medical person who doesn't even know enough to be wrong.
I really thought "inflammation" is/was a generic term for a myriad of different causes and symptoms. Did something change and now we "know" that inflammation == c reactive protein? Or is this just one particular well-known marker of a common cluster of inflammation symptoms? Or am I just completely confused about the whole thing?

happy to take answers from OP or others.
