High Levels of Inflamtion in Blood

The other day I went to the drs and he told me that it is not normal for someone with fibro to have high levles of inflamation markers in their blood. Which is what I have. So what does this mean? Do I have Fibro and something else? Did the Pain Clinic miss diagonose me? Help I am so confussed. Pain levels are over the roof, legs spams are painfull. Toes are even painfull, and back is painfull, walking has got worse, but still determend to carry on. Rhymotologest appointment can only be made in 9 months time and then the nerologest in about 6 months time.

They are finding that there is inflammation in people who have fibromyalgia. Someone posted an article where a study was done using CAT and PET scans that showed that inflammation in the brain’s of people who have fibromyalgia. This study was done in Sweden.
