15 Years Old Sedrate?

I'm not sure if I spelt it right, but I have blood screening or w/e for Sedrate levels, and they are continualy increasing, they are not yet in the 100's but they are above normal.

I have had upper abdominal pain after eating for a year, but more noticeably I have recently been having SEVERE SEVERE pain in my hands, shoulders, neck, hips, thighs, legs, and knees, sometimes feet...What could this mean since Sedrate indicated inflammatory diseases...

Auto-immune disorders run in the family, Lupus, Arthritis, and fibromyalgia...

My doctor is referring me to a rheumotologist, but what do you think this could be since I am so young...also my lymph nodes are enlarged.

I eat healty, don't drink or smoke, and I am at good weight.

I'm also not sick, haven't been fighting any communicable or infections that are known (been tested for infections)

I was going to suggest the diseases you listed plus possibly Lyme Disease and MS. Go to the rheumotologist and get a full blood work up. I would have them repeat the blood work two or three times too and seek a 2nd and 3rd opinion. These disorders you listed and the ones I listed have similar symptoms and the tests are not clearcut. I had a friend who was diagnosed and treated for Lupus and Lyme Disease for years before they figured out it was MS. I know you are young. My friend was only 18 at the time. Good luck to you.

Hi
First I am NOT a medical person.
The test is called a ESR or Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate and is the rate at which red blood cells separate out of suspension in blood plasma. It can be elevated due to dancing the night before the test, to menses and other lifestyle activities. While autoimmune conditions run in your family, you might not succumb. I am the only one in my family to have autoimmune conditions. Parents and three older siblings, plus Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nephews and Nieces, are healthy. As you state your lymph glands are swollen I am just wondering if you have 'Glandular Fever' or Mono, the new term? You might need further testing to come to any diagnosis. Hope that helps, my ESR is 74.
