My sed rate was 23 and most recent 31. i also have a positive ssb antibody. i was deployed to sw asia approx 2 years ago and became very ill. ?

Stop worrying: The sed rate is not helpful in most situations and I consider this normal. Many people have a positive anti-La/SSB. Please continue the workup if you are symptomatic. If you are not, these labs do not indicate ill-health. THank you for your service.
