What Causes Disturbance In Vision And Severe Joints Pain?

I am having symptoms of severe joint pain (large and small) general body up and including jaws. I thought it was arthritis as I was diagnosed in my 30 s with, comes and goes, osteo, but today I am weird vision symptoms: for about 10 seconds my eyes would not focus and were crossing. ? I have a history of glaucoma and my bp was 148/86. I am an RN and was just wondering what that could be?
