thx-on other reports i saw the letters SED for that
i am wondering if the fact that i am full of ibu, fish oil, curcumin-all things that lower inflammation would make it look like i wasnt inflammed when i really am
how can someone have so much pain and not be inflammed???

ESR doesn't always show the inflammation.
Sometimes it shows up as C-Reactive Protein, and sometimes not at all in the bloodwork.
Inflammation can be located in many places in the body, and driven by many different pathways...not all of these always show up in bloodwork.
