Chyroidites active "

some handwritten Ts look like capital Cs. I think its meant to be

thyroiditis. a raised ESR indicates active inflammation -inflammation of

the thyroid is thyroiditis. Which could be caused by autoimmune disease

[ie Hashimotos] or other reasons

No, I don't know what that is, but does she suspect lupus? The SED rate can

be high for autoimmune diseases or inflammation, but this one is frequently

used as PART of scenario to determine if there might be lupus. If the ANA

was high, and you also have the symptoms, it might be used as another

determinate for this.

My SED rate was slightly elevated in 2 blood tests and one sub test

of an ANA is slightly elevated too but neither a neurologist or an

endo seem too concerned. The endo did ask if I had even been tested

for lupus and when I said no that was the end of that conversation.

When I asked the neuro about the SED rate he did say they usually

don't get concerned until the numbers are above 100.

I wonder if I should do more research into this.
