Figuring out autoimmune disease where to start?

Thank you! I started with functional medicine, chiropractic, herbalist but have been thinking about looking into a doctor/functional medicine who specializes in latent diseases. I’ve had Lymes mentioned before, which from what I read can look like PMR. I grew up on a farm, hunting etc and did have one event I can remember where I believe a tick bite got missed by a doctor. Didn’t present real typical. I do have the left side weakness and some other things that line up for this.
It would be chronic long term at this point. All this too started happening after a miscarriage 2 years ago and after having Covid at 7 weeks postpartum. Hence all the hormone stuff. I have quite the long long story of every practitioner under the sun…the one thing that has helped at all is a magnesium infusion.
Curious of anyone you’d recommend that is also knowledgeable on Lymes this way and PMR if that’s likely the diagnosis?

I think a rheumatologist can help. Here were the tests they ran on me. Most of these rule out something else.
1.. CBC with DIFF
2. ESR
3. CRP, HS-CRP **
4. HBsAG
5. Interferon Gamma, Serum
6. Hep -B
7. Anti-Chromatin Ab, IgC (RDL)
8. CCP Antibodies IgG/IgA
9. 14-3-3 eta Protein
10. Antiphospholipid Antibody APS, APLS
11.RF test
12. ANA - antinuclear antibody
13. Aldolase - With CK, ALT, AST
14. Interleukin 2 and 6
15. Pet Scan for cancer.
