Hi, and thanks for the opportunity to ask for your insights. I am a 50-year-old woman. About three weeks ago, I experienced rather sudden pain in joints on both sides of my body. The pain has been getting worse every day, and I am extremely, extremely tired, which is unlike me. I have osteoarthritis in my left knee, but suddenly I hurt all over - both hands, both hips, both knees, both feet, both elbows, both shoulders. I can't sleep because of the pain, and I can barely walk down the stairs each morning. I stand (in pain) most of the day (I'm a teacher) but when I sit for even brief periods, I get very stiff. My late mom had Rheumatoid Arthritis. The funny thing is, I do not have much swelling. When I went to a gynecologist for a routine checkup about four months ago, before these symptoms started, she ran routine blood tests and found I had a high-sensitivity CRP test result of 9.9. She told me to take Fish Oil pills. The pain is really interfering with my functioning both at home and on the job, and I'm too tired to be there for my family. Thanks.
