CRP rebounded after cessation while my weight only drifted

Stopped retatrutide after 7 months. Last on-drug hs-CRP was 1.2 mg/L; eight weeks later it read 5.1.

Scale +2.8 lb, waist +0.75 in. Fasting glucose and sleep unchanged.

Appetite is milder than pre-drug, but evening grazing came back, mostly cheese and crackers. I expected the inflammatory marker and weight to move together.

This split has me wondering how much was drug effect versus fat regain. Anyone else track CRP across a washout?

If weight stayed stable, did yours settle on its own, or only improve back on therapy?
