What a coincidence finding your post,  I think my son has Post Strep Reactive Arthritis,  and I was taking a break from researching that to browse around on this board.



Are your joints swollen and red and hot?  



You may try looking up Reactive Arthritis on the net.



Best wishes.

I am also experiencing the same problems...would like to know what maybe you all have found out.  My symptoms are chronic fatigue, naseua, sometimes dizziness, and the muscle aches are teh worst.  Arms feel weak, liek i have slept with sanbags on them all day.  All tests from blood and emg came back perfectly normal.  This ache in the arms has been 2 months now and sometimes i just want to cry in pain.
