Dear Lyme Community,
I do not have a Lyme diagnosis, but am considering it as a possibility, and have posted here before (and gotten very helpful replies). Currently, I have a question.
I recently got blood test results in the mail, and along with some other non-specific abnormalities, I have an elevated SED rate. (It was 12 in July, in the test from Oct. it is 37, and the reference is <20 mm/hour).
I searched online to see if there is any connection between Lyme and an elevated SED rate. I found both sites that claim there is usually no elevated SED rate in Lyme, and other sites saying that it could be a strong indicator for Lyme. I was wondering if anyone here can advise me on this?
I know in general there is a lot of disagreement on the subject of Lyme, if anyone has information on this specific test result, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
