HAVE BEEN ON A LOT OF SITES LOOKING FOR INFO...THIS BOARD IS VERY SCARY AND SO MANY HAVE SUFFERED FOR SO LONG. WILL HAVE LABS IN 3 WKS AS IT IS TOO SOON TO KNOW THE SED RATE BECAUSE OF THE PNEUMONIA.

The correct spelling is carotidynia just in case you were struggling to find results when you are searching. There is a lot of information on the Internet but like so many other medical problems, its not really clear to medical science what causes it so you may have to learn as much as you can whilst accepting that there aren't any clear-cut answers.
