I'm going to ask my PCP to do an autoimmune panel with my blood work in July.

I know there's something more going on inside my body than just the pain associated with arthritis.

I'm wondering if I may have picked up Lyme Disease somewhere along the way and missed the telltale rash ...

Or even if I may have Lupus maybe?

All the @#$%! going south with my body - and how rapidly it's going ...

It's got to be something more than just the arthritis causing all this chronic pain.

I'm also fatigued right badly most of the time.

I've had very noticeable inflammation in my left arm, hand and thumb joint since May 2nd of this year.

The thumb joint is especially tender and it's also warm to the touch at times.

I'm just tired of being in pain and feeling tired and run down all the time!
