I AM IN THIS VERY BOAT RIGHT NOW. i FEEL FINE...NO REAL SYMPTOMS OR PROBLEMS RELATED TO LUPUS OR ANY OTHER AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER, BUT I HAVE AN ELEVATED SED RATE AND AN ELEVATED C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVEL, WHICH BOTH INDICATE SOME TYPE OF INFLAMMATION IN THE BODY. THE PROBLEM IS....NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY. I REALLY HAVENT EVEN BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH PCOS BUT i AM PRETTY SURE I HAVE IT...JUST DONT REALLY HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS EXCEPT BEING OVERWEIGHT AND ANNOVULATORY. ONE DOC SAID i HAD IT AND ONE SAID HE SAW NO EVIDENCE. SO I DONT KNOW BUT I HAVE BEEN TESTED FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY MY SED RATE AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN ARE HIGH. MAYBE ITS ALL RELATED...WHO KNOWS. I AM NOW WAITING TO SEE WHAT DOCTOR IM GOING TO NEXT TO FIND OUT WHY THESE LEVELS ARE HIGH. ITS ALL SO DAMN COMPLICATED. I JUST FEEL LIKE WHY WORRY ABOUT IT IF IM NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. UGHHHH I JUST WISH I HAD SOME ANSWERS TO WHY THESE LEVELS ARE HIGH BUT ALL MY TESTS FOR AUTOIMMUNE ARE NEGATIVE. MAYBE I AM JUST BORDERLINE. ANY COMMENTS OR INPUT WOULD BE GREAT.
