hi all. wanted to put a couple of questions out there. my sedimentation rate is high, but i have read it is supposed to be low in CFS. but then in other places i read that it is high in inflammation....does anyone know about this?

also. my recent cd4 count was 560. the one before that was 870. is this very bad? doesnt look good to me for it to be that low....i thought it was mostly NK cell function that goes down with CFS?


thanks
xoxo
