/All Question about SED rate

[Guest guest]

Hi -

I'm new to all this too but I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at the same time

I was diagnosed with the PMR. I dn't know what the connection is but my sed

rate is up too. I haven't seen an endocrinologist yet but plan on getting a

referral when I go to my rheum next week.

Keep me posted, I'm interested to hear what you find out.

Hugs-

Ivy
