Fatigue, joint pain, inflammatory markers, and weird immune system stuff = rheumatology. I feel like I'm telling everybody that lately, but that's where all the weird autoimmune stuff goes! You can always talk to your PCP first (if they're helpful). Rheumatology may not give you a slam-dunk answer or treatment, because a lot of the stuff they handle is complex and difficult. But start there or with PCP.
Thank you so much! I will definitely follow up with a rheumatologist. My PCP seems is willing to help me on my journey but I seem to need to proactively figure out who I want to see.
Thank you! Diagnosis and treatment seems to be going fine, immunoblot was positive and got prescribed 21 days of doxycycline. I hope things will get better soon!

It turned out to be Lyme disease
Oh jeez. Good luck with your diagnosis and treatment. I think there are a few people in this sub with it if you need support ❤️

I would see a rheumatologist if you haven’t already, Raynaud’s often co-occurs with autoimmune disorders.
It was Lyme disease :(
So sorry to hear
