Feel Like Death ESR only 9?!?!?!

Mooks, I had a similar experience recently when was put on Imuran. I was also taken off MTX at the same time and within 24 hrs. I was in terrible pain. Everything came rushing back. So I'm back on the MTX until the Imuran kicks in. My ESR is always normal and my rheumy treats me on my ANA results and symptoms (bless his heart). He told me some people just don't reflect their inflammation in their blood work. He also told me some doctors wouldn't treat me at all based on my low SED rate and ESR (are they the same thing?) but fortunately, he's not one of them. He believes my pain and knows you can have normal blood work and still have a lot of pain.
