Should I get tested too? Extreme neck and joint pain.
Sibling has chronic Bartonella most likely from childhood flea exposure, how can I get my doctor to test me?

My sister is 25F and I am a 27F, both in our late twenties. She just got her diagnosis yesterday.

I’ve been dealing with chronic joint pain (worst in my neck), enlarged lymph nodes, heart palpitations, fatigue, mood swings, positive ANA, positive RF antibodies (IgA, IgG, IgM), normal CCP, horrible anxiety and panic attacks, GI issues, and extreme food and medicine allergies (hives, rashes, swelling). My neck xray showed mild joint degeneration. My sister has been going through similar issues but more extreme and was finally diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Bartonella. I’m concerned I have the same or another infectious disease. I work in entomology and have been bit by ticks and fleas, as well as my sister and I grew up around many animals that had fleas. Importantly, we got sick around the same time.

How would you recommend I pose this to my doctor? He is aware I’be having these symptoms as I’ve seen him 10+ times, the ER twice, a cardiologist, and a rheumatologist now with no diagnosis. I don’t know how to approach this. Thank you!
