Hello. My name is April & I just came across this site today.

I'm a 34 year-old single female living in Southern California. I've

recently had two " positive " or " elevated " (?) ACE tests that were

ordered by my Rheumatologist. He also ordered a chest x-ray & I'll be

getting the results of everything tomorrow afternoon.

He actually ran a TON of labs on me & he said almost everything came

back " perfect. " He told me the " main " test he was looking at was my

SED Rate. That that is considered the " gold standard " test for chronic

inflammation...and that mine was " perfect. "

The main symptom(s) I've been having are a feeling of burning

or " heat " inside my system. It's not on the OUTSIDE, like on my skin

but on the inside. As if my nerves are on fire. ??!! I've been having

extreme outbursts of anger/aggression that seem to come on out of

nowhere. I've got horrible insomnia as well. This has been going on

for the past 9 months now.

Does any of this sound " familiar? "

I'd appreciate any info you could offer me as this whole " ordeal " has

been & is very frightening to me.

Sincerely,

April D.

It does, but it's hard to say what is going on until they get the blood and ct's stuff. In our archives is an article on the brain and how it functions. It's in normal english-- so it's easy to understand.

This disease does have a systemic inflammation, and many of run fevers daily. If your hypothalmus is involved, it's easy for the body to not be able to regulate it's thermostat. Also, if there is brain inflammation-- then they need to figure out why.

Have you had sarcoidosis in the past?

Looking forward to hearing the outcome of todays appt.
