[|AI|]  Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. There are many causes of high ESR.  Tuberculosis, autoimmune disease, infection, anemia, paraprotienemia, malignancies are some common causes of high ESR. Your symptoms suggest you may have some autoimmune disorder.  You should go for ANA profile. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.
