Kathie, What drugs are you on?

I'm sorry if I can't remember this, but have you been diagnosed with lupus?

If you have it and are in a flare right now, you need to see someone right away. Especially due to the kidney issue!

The only time I've had a sed rate over 100 (104) was when I had C. diff. Anything that high is serious, especially if your normal is no where near that high.

I don't want to scare you (or do I?), but you need to have someone take a check of your basic chemistry, vitals, urinalysis, etc. right away.

What's your temp right now? That doesn't necessarily correlate to ESR, but at least keep an eye on it. Do you have a BP cuff or an oximeter?

I hope you'll be okay. Don't let the docs say that it's no big deal.

Annie
