Can anyone give me background on why my ESR/SED rate is on continous upward motion?

I am super uneasy over this. Doctors say its inflammation based but its non-specific...

my ESR is 60mm my CRP is 0.9
My white blood cells are elevated and so are my red

Is this lyme? is this a confection I haven't sorted out yet?

In recent months I have felt a total relapse of symptoms...true nightmare

thank you

both ESR and CRP correlate with systemic inflammation in your body, inflammation is a immune response to infection. can be any infection, not exactly lyme

LOL - well that wasn't really much help I gave you....

Will you update us when you've had the appt. ?

I was tested for ESR and CRP by my regular Dr. a couple years ago...with nothing showing up. She did tell me they were markers for inflammation.
Very odd - because I did and still do 'feel' like my body is inflamed....
