Question: I am 49yr olds female very healthy, approximately 8 weeks both my legs started hurting terrible with localized pain in both knee's, I went to my doctor who told me I had mild arthritis. One week later I went to her with the following symptoms: Double leg pain, aching burning sharp shoot pains, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, low grade fever, fatigue and right eye and lip twitching. She put me on antibiotic for 10 days and it did not work. She still states that I have mild arthritis because all my tests have come back good it is now eights weeks and some of my symptoms have alliviated a bit but I am still dealing with the debilitating double leg pain. Does mild arthritis cause these symptoms? I since have seen a rheumatologist who ran a new blood panel with abnormal results on the antinuclear antibody which was high and the aninuclear antibody was positive and the ana pattern was speckled he states i am healthly with no issues and that my very small millimeter of a thyroid nodule produced these results......your thoughts?????


Just a note, I am never ill or have had any kind of pain and/or swelling in my legs before this, over the course of last nine weeks I have also experienced difficulty sleeping and pain in both shoulders and wrists. My family stated I had a mild rash on my face that looked like a raccoon when this whole thing started back in January but went away in a week or two I don't remember everything that I have had since this started because I have felt so terrible with pain and fatigue. I am now feeling much better but the fatigue still sets in I have good days and do great stuff that I have been unable to do and then the next two days I am in bed or do not get off the couch because I am so fatigued. I have been active my whole life and upto nine weeks ago I was still going to the gym 4-5 times weekly. Please help.......

Do you feel this could of been a flare of an auto immune condition? I have had several in my life and wonder if this one that is now coming about. I have been diagnosed with:

Endometriosis stage 4 and had a complete hysterectomy because of it.
Psorasis of the hands and feet that start as pustules
raynauds syndrome
most recently Ihave been diagnosed with Lychen Scelorosis

Please see the attached blood work from 3.17.17 from the Rheumatologist, thank you

The markings on report were made by me as we were discussing my results and comparing to last months blood work

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your take on everything take care
