Does anyone know what this might be? (I am Undiagnosed and looking for Answers)

I have been dealing with extreme fatigue and now aches and pains on my knees and low back. Had seen a Rhuemy in 2010, and was put on plaquenil for " connective tissue disorder" for about a year. Helped with hair thinning and other symptoms. Since then, moved and took new job. Symptoms have emerged along with new positive tests- HLA-B27 positive ,Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody- positive, Creatine Kinase, 147 (high end of normal) and Ferritin very low 8. No word from the Dr. or nurse except for my 6 week follow up. Aches and pains are getting worse along with fatigue... any advice?

I would certainly get tested for Fibromyalgia as some of your symptoms point to that.

These blood tests are nonspecific. Rheumatoid arthritis and Fibromyalgia are both possibilities but really, you are going to have to wait and see what the rheumatologist has to say.
