Um not to add to your stress but...I believe the " normal " sed rate for

women is around 15. I was 81 when diagnosed and have made it down to 18

but back up in the 50's again. The good news is at least you know why you

feel off...

They take blood , put it in a tube and certain things the erythrocywahooos

settle down to the bottom. I guess bad sinks faster than good so the

higher your sed rate, the faster the erythrocywahooos fell to the bottom of

the tube..oh the he** with it...

JEN!!!! Help !!!!!!!!!

I don't know if this helps, but I was told with the ESR it helps to

monitor inflammation levels in the system. It is different than the Sed

Rate. Hope it helps. Kelley in Colorado
