I am 29 year old female:
I have been having these issues off and on since 2007. They seem like flares to me but I notice that when I get pregnant my issues get so much worse. I have miscarried 3 times. My first pregnancy was normal and had a healthy son and not one day of sickness. I was very healthy.
My entire body hurts and the pain goes from joint to joint in the matter of minutes. Sometimes both my knees get puffy. My knees and wrists seem to get the bulk of the joint pain. I have vertigo and now that I am pregnant I can't drive or walk down my stair without help. I have broken sleep all night from about 11 pm to about 9am and sleep the majority of the day waking for an hour at a time. I literally fall asleep sitting up trying to eat. No amount of rest helps when this happens.
My stomach hurts. Not sick, but it hurts to the touch painfully. I also have the morning sickness on top of that.
All of my symptoms:
Panic
low grade fever
swollen lymph nod on the neck on the right side. Found by dentist 3 years ago. Never fully went away.
night sweats
debilitating fatigue
hot flashes
cold chills
painful joints or painful body
sickness with exercise. I tired thinking it would make me feel better.
Vertigo
Joint selling in knees. Both knees at the same time.
Intestinal pain and extreme gas
Pain in colon and rectum
These are what happen when I have flare up, but these also get magnified when pregnant much much worse.
Been tested for:
Lupus: Negative
HIV:Negative
Celiac: Came back elevated.
RA:Negative
Infections:Negative
OB said I have low progesterone too.
