Question: I don't know if anyone can help me as I seem to have baffled health care professionals so far. I have a pmh of non specific colitis of the terminal illium, pylonephritis, reaccurent uti, pleurisy, reaccurent tonsillitis, night sweats, vit d deficiency, folate deficiency, b12 deficiency and fatigue. I have a family history of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Tonight my left hand was red and inflammed at the joints followed by it swelling up and it hurts. Does anyone have an idea what's going off with me I know there's something not right with all if this has happened over the last 4 years

Hi thank you for your response, I was discharged from rheumatology in february they redid all the ana tests which came back negative at that point as one was around the 100 mark in august of last but the rheumatologist said 10% of the nation could have it in that range and it not be a problem but he had diagnosed lupus with someone with those markers before but he didnt think it was lupus as I wasn't presenting like a normal lupus patient, my inflammatory markers have never really been elevated either apart from when i had quite a nasty anal fissure in december of last year which healed by itself. I had pluerisy in may of this year which resulted in a hospital admission only on the left, and was treated with pain relief only but I have had the pain back since but has resolved at the moment. The colitis was found last XXXXXXX was treated with budesnide 9mg then reducing dose and since i have seen a different consultant who thought it was ibs but wants me to see my usual consultant as my bowel habits still go from one extreme to the other. My rheumatologist also thought there could be enterpathic arthritis related to the colitis but has since ruled that out. I do get a lot of dry mouth and ulcers and i permanently have a sore throat which the gastro consultant told me to drink more fluids and eat more fruit but trying that i got an ulcer on my throat that turned septic, then my lips and gums swelled up and then i got tonsilitis this was a month ago and they intermittently swell up and have since got tonsilitis again. My menstrual cycle has also become less regular; which my gp thinks is hormonal as I havnt had a period in two month and I have the copper coil. I did upload a picture of my hand yesterday onto my profile I'm not sure if you can see it?
Thank you XXXXXXX XXXX

thank you, they did do a colonoscopy last year which is when they found the non specific inflammation in my terminal illium but no other tests were conclusive after that apart from my ct picking up a fatty liver. I've seen my gp today whose done a set of bloods fbc, esr, crp, u&e, lft, tft, vit d, bone profile and anti ccp I will let you know the results, thank you for your advice i'm very fed up at the moment as I feel like I'm going round in circles I will let you know my results.

well my gp prescribed me etorixoib 60mg thinking it wouldn't upset my system for the pain in my hands and ive started with my gastric symptoms this morning do you think its the analgesia or a flare up?
and my tongue has become inflamed in the last 5 days see images

the tongue started on wednesday before the meds, its loose stools theyve settled down for now but i'm gona go see gp tomorrow thank you

gp thinks its a bug all bloods were in normal range apart from anti ccp which hasn't come back yet, I just dont think it's a bug just my gut feeling I am also a nurse by the way
ive also just had quite a few ectopic beats in the space of half an hour should I be concerned I have been seen by cardiology and discharged with superventicular ectopics.
