nonni Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hi gang...sorry I haven't been here for a while...haveing some problem's here on the home front...family with health problem's Now me????....Should I be scared?...Who ME???...nah!! yeah right!! I went for a follow up to my GP and he ran some blood work....got a letter from him today...wants to see me again in early June to run it again...Seems my Sed rate..(ESR) is elevated....I know this could be nothing...as I have my MOm who we just celebrated her 95 BD...and Praise God...she is wonderful....still very vibrant...does all her own cooking cleaning etc etc...writes her own checks... Anyway...she has always' carried a high Sed Rate...so I am hoping it is hererity...BUT...when my sed rate was high a few years back...that is when my Doc ordered a CT scan and found the LC.... So I am kind of jittery about this....not paranoid..just anxious...like (zanax) time...I have to go back early June for a retest so please think positive for me and keep me in your prayer's... Thanks guys...love you all....PamS/Nonni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaze100 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hi Nonni, Prayers for Nonni and good test results in June. Sounds like you come from hardy stock Nonni, so any characteristics you inherit from your Mom is an extra bonus. What is a SED anyway?

Geri Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I can understand your paranoia, but you come from good stock with that kind of history so try not to worry - Hah! Thinking good thoughts. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Don't forget we always have Dr. West to ask. You might want to check in with him and see what he thinks! I'm sure your going to be fine. (((NONNI)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish2418 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Sending prayers for great results in June. Until then, Nonni, don't go looking for trouble. RELAX!! (I know, easier said than done.) Hugs, Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gail Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Don't borrow trouble!!! And put that SED away in a quiet space in your brain for now. And close the door on it! gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debi Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Pam, I know it's easy to have the bad feelings but look at it this way - if your doctor was really worried, he would have sent you for some tests rather than wait till June. I'm sure everything will be fine when he runs it again, or maybe its just elevated for no reason.. Thinking of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Pam, I will say a prayer that all is clear. People here tell me all the time not to borrow trouble...so I will tell you the same. Hate the waiting game though! Blessings, jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I would say you are having all the appropriate feelings Nonni. It is probably nothing though if you were told to wait till June. I hope you can write your own checks when you are in your 90s too. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonni Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Thanks guys for all your responses...It is soo wonderful to come here when I have a 'bogger' in the back of my head...You are the best!!!!!...Thanks for all the great support...xoxoxox Blaze...Sed Rate is a type of blood test that tells if you have inflamation or infection some where...The norm in 20...When they found my LC it was 70...After more research...tells me a high sed can come from many things such as arthirtis which I have acquired in my hands since my surgery....so hoping it is THAT or better yet nothing.... Can someone send me Dr West site so I can ask him...thanks Love to all...praying for a cure as alway's...Pam/Nonni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
