Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)

Need more information!

Googling ECP and medical tests (which anyone can do) there were many hits over a wide range of conditions.

Need more information, please. Of course your doctor could tell you also.

I'll have to read up on that. Another question-----some times our lab tests are marked 'high' but that's just because they have to have a delineating number somewhere.

If your number is just a 'little high' (check for the range number) then it MAY have no real significance.

(I'm not a doctor)

If a range is say 1 to 5 and your number is 6---- that would be a big change.

If a range were 30 to 560 and your number was 563 (out of range) then ------ ?

Some times a doc will do serial tests (several in a few months) to see if the out-of-range number stays the same.

So----inflammation----- yeah, most of us have that.

What's your SED rate?

My comments are just my opinion.
