On and Off Finger swelling 8 months now

My finger also swells, this happened after I got sick back in 2006. No one could tell me what i was sick with and they still cant, besides being really allergic to wheat. Along with the finger swelling and hand stiffness, I also get pain or burning sensation in the area of my left rib right below the breast...when these attacks happen a couple of times a month I also feel very lethargic almost like my whole body slows down, with a general sick feeling all over. I also get nausia when it happens but never vomiting. The attacks last about 2-3 hours and are usually at night...but the finger swelling is more constant.

Any ideas, I feel like no one can help me!

Could be Reactive Arthritis - I have it and my hands and feet swell.  I was tested and it seems Barley is on my list of no-nos but it seems like almost everything effects me.  I'm building up to do a Candida Diet for 30 days to see if that helps.  I got strept throat back in July, 2005 and still have this problem.
