Hi,

Polyarthralgia with fever underlying fibromyalgia may be possible with multiple connective tissue disorders—Rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus or septic arthritis etc., to name a few.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Please get it done CBP, ESR, CRP, ANA and thyroid status. Then consult your rheumatologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
