Hi all, I am usually at the Polymyalgia Rheumatica forum because I have a high SED rate in a blood test, which indicates it. But my doctor is considering I have fibromyalgia. Do any of you take the SED rate and does it show inflammation? Thanks.

    Hi Debbie. I always have a high sed rate. but not the elevated ANA that goes along with autoimmune disease. So they say fibro.

    I am curious if you may have allergies.

      I'm allergic to penicillin, but don't have many other allergic reactions to weeds, pets, etc.
