Sed-rate?

[Guest guest]

I know that I should know this, but. I know that the

normal sed-rate should be 0-25. My sister in law found

out that hers is 45. Is that pretty high? I think that

she has RA. Her ra factor was 8. My Dr. that I had

before now never told me any of my test results. But

since I don't understand them I never asked for them.

My sister in law can't get in to see a rheumy until

Sept. 21. But I saw all the signs before I was dx. in

her. I told her to get to a Dr. She went to her family

Dr. and he said well I don't know why your joints are

swelling. Asked her what she did for a living, because

her wrists are red and swollen. She said she was a

bank teller. He told her that she was going to have to

find another job or live with the pain. That made me

so mad when she told me that. She went to a walk in

clinic and the Dr. took x-rays, blood work and gave

her mobic to take. She said that helped a little. But

she needs more than that. Well thanks for listening

and any info you can give me.
