@chensley638 Hello and welcome to Mayo Connect! This is a place to vent and express your feelings - we are glad to have you join our online community. It does sound like you have had a lot of symptoms without a clear cut diagnosis. Share with us, if you are comfortable, the type of specialist you have seen for the inflamed lymph nodes and bone pain. With the variety of symptoms you mention it might be wise to seek out a large medical center like Mayo (clinics in Minnesota, Florida and Arizona) or a large university medical center. Have you considered a second opinion? Teresa

Hi thank you for your reply. I have not seen any Specialists that's far. My doctor didn't even mention it to me. Nor did the supervising ER doctor I saw when I have the CT done. I actually work for a rheumatologist. I had a plethora of lab workup done. It did show elevated CRP which was 2.83 period ESR was 45. Wbc's where 15.6. My vitamin D was low at 26.4. So he said he felt I had an infection of some sort because all of my autoimmune labs for things like scleroderma, lupus, RA, Sjorgens, etc were negative. Today I go to see a GI specialist for my symptoms. But MP was not mentioned in the referral at all. I didn't even know I had it until last night when I read the report from the CT. I will update after my appointment. On a side note, I guess I just feel like an idiot because I had no idea about any of this. And MP is not something I've ever seen in our Clinic. To be honest it's not something I had ever heard of before.
