Question: In August 2010, I developed pylenephritis and sepsis, e coli, unhospitalized,1 gram of rocephin in er, then on cipro po x 10 days
5 days in, i began developing generalized weakness, sob, and elevated bp, then anterior thigh pain, joint pain. never hospitalized, all autoimmune tests neg, all cardio, mri negs, have had chronic pain in differing areas of body,muscle and joints, affects, hip joints, all extremities, shoulder, and posterior ribcage, neck, headache, dizziness, eye sensitivity to light, and bizarre sharp pain for periods of time in back of calf x 6 weeks, then disappears, shows up somewhere else, , it waxs and wanes, but always there to some degree, when it is the worst, exhausting fatigue, sometimes takes my whole weekend to get any energy. any ideas other than fibro, the famous catch all for women in pain

the pain is not exacerbated with movement, as in bone against bone,, no swelling, also very much XXXXXXX pain in muscular areas. getting an assessment by another rheumatologist would be helpful, as the one here in my town blew it off to emotional in basis. Question: Is it possible to have an auto-immune disorder including ra without positive bloodwork to support any of the same???? Thank you

one more question, do you think that there is a correlation between the acute sepsis/kidney infection and the onset of the (now chronic) myalgia, muscle tensing, joint pain, ha, increased bp, hr, sob, fatigue that all occurred within a week of each other, and is there any scientific evidence of the same, or is it unexplored territory??
