WAY high! Sodium and chloride a bit low, but better than the have been for a long time. But the sed rate is 47!!!! No wonder I feel horrible.

That ESR is definitely elevated, but that's not surprising, considering your MC symptoms. At least the Na and Cl levels are doing better.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Yeah, and I am glad about that. My doc was upset because I was drinking some electrolyte enhanced water. NOT "free" water. I told her it helped.

My sed rate has been between 13-15 when I am not sick. It hasn't been this high since July, when I was in hospital.

At least I know I am not a hypochondriac, because the tests say so. *G*
