I guess it does. Have always had high sed rate. Put on Prednisone for 30 days and Plaquenil at same time. On 300 mg of Plaquenil and 15 mg of Mobic and my sed rate is 2--always been elevated. Foot pain is returning as well as bilateral wrist pain. Do feel better on Plaquenil and Mobic, however.

How does Prednisone effect sedrate?

Prednisone, a corticosteroid, can lower the sedimentation rate (sed rate) by reducing inflammation in the body. Since the sed rate is a measure of inflammation, its decrease in response to prednisone indicates a reduction in inflammatory processes. However, while prednisone can effectively lower sed rate levels, it may also mask underlying conditions or symptoms due to its anti-inflammatory effects. It's important for healthcare providers to consider these factors when interpreting sed rate results in patients on prednisone.

Does a high sed test tell if you have fibromyalgia?

A high sed rate (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) indicates inflammation in the body but does not specifically diagnose fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and other symptoms, and its diagnosis is primarily based on clinical evaluation rather than lab tests. While some individuals with fibromyalgia may have elevated sed rates due to coexisting conditions, a normal sed rate does not rule out the disorder either. Therefore, a sed rate test is not a definitive indicator for fibromyalgia.
