  Started 6 months ago with left side headache, eye inflammation, sores up nose, fatigue, night sweats, right wrist sore on and off, right shoulder was stiff. I've now got a painful right wrist and it hurts in my ulner region and further down my arm theres a hard bump. Had bloods done before lockdown and my ANA was positive, raised esr and raised ccp and rheumatoid factor was 161. I feel awful and I'm scared its cancer and not autoimmune and now going to be months to see a rheumatologist.

  Anyone else get shoulder/neck pain? Waiting for an endoscopy.  I get left shoulder/neck discomfort every day  as well as lower left pelvic pain when I walk. Nausea, throat  clearing, gas, cramps on left and sometimes right across like period  pains.

  I haven't been well for 14 yrs and been diagnosed with me/cfs but a couple of years ago i had bad vertigo and had a brain scan and there were 3/4 white spots on it. The neuro gave me a lumber puncture and evoke potential test but these were negative so he couldn't diagnose ms. i have a few abnormal bloods that suggest something autoimmunes going on but no one can tell me what. I have asked a few times about lyme and they just say "no you haven't got that". I asked last week and the gp did a...

  I had campylobacter (food poisoning) 2 months ago and had to have a weeks course of antibiotics (Erythromycin). The diarrhea eventually stopped but i have gradually got worse with left back pain/ache, sweating, feeling clammy, muscle spasms etc. I went to Drs yesterday and she tested my urine and there were traces of blood in it so she sent it to be tested and took my bloods for kidney function. I am worried the campylobacter has damaged my kidneys or something with already having a weakened...

  I don't want to go rushing to the drs but i keep thinking what if i don't this time and it is something bad. I don't know if it's linked but i had campylobator food poisoning a couple of months ago (no vomiting but awful diarrhea) i had to have a week of antibiotics and the toilet symptoms got better. Ever since i have had an upper left back ache that hasn't gone away just some days it's worse than others . It can sometimes feel in the front at the same height. I had my bloods done when i had...

  I have a left sided back pain which radiates to side and front and i saw an osteopath on Tuesday who said all my left felt tight and my rib/s felt locked. My back is even hurting when i walk and sit back and lean on a chair/sofa. Most of my left side feels inflamed or something. If my OH rubs my back i don't know if it's my ribs or muscle/cartilage that really hurts.
