Joint pain & autoimmunity...please help!!!

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone! My name is , a 26 year old female & I'm new to

the group. I'm writing this because I'm hurting, afraid, need help,

and not sure what to do. I have all kinds of autoimmune symptoms,

but doctors say I don't fall into a " nice neat category " and can't

diagnose me. Right now I'm having so much pain in my hands (mostly

the tops of them), feet, knees, elbow, and jaw. It feels like

they're sprained & achy. This has been going on for a couple

months. What I do know is that I do have Hashimotos & my blood test

for celiac came back positive. Had chronic hives for 5 years. Had

inflammation in so many different parts of my body. Vulvodynia,

intersticial cystitis, granulomo annularae, esophagitis, reflux,

dermagraphism, & asthma are all things I've been told I have at one

point or another. I have digestive issues - stomach pain, gurgling,

& constipation primarily. Have positive ANA, negative anti-dna,

positive c-reactive protein. Seen 5 rheumtologists...all say not

lupus. So my question is, well, does any of this sound familiar to

anyone? And is there anything I can do to feel better?

Specifically, what can be done to ease this joint pain, or better

yet, cure it? Anti-inflammatories don't seem to help much...anyone

know of natural resources? Treatments? Books? Anything? Please e-

mail your response to healthinfo4me@.... Any input would be

greatly appreciated...thanks!
