God Bless You & I am praying for you right now! Sounds like we are in the same boat. I am older than you, but, have fibromyalgia, both thyroid diseases and osteoarthritis almost all over. I just went to a rheumatologist and was diagnosed with borderline lupus yesterday via a phone message. I have so much pain, stiffness & fatigue that I can't function a lot of days. My faith is what keeps me going. I am awaiting a call back from the nurse today. It is very frustrating when doctors do not listen. Covid ramped up the inflammation in my body (last August I had a significant case) and I am trusting the Lord to get answers. I empathize. Keep trying. Don't give up my friend. Hugs & Prayers....

I have had Mixed Connective Tissue Disease for over 20 years. Many people with these diseases, including Lupus, etc. spend years until diagnosis--often asymptomatic as labs + subjective observations are the deal. Change your diet to non-processed/anti-inflammatory and start with daily walks in the morning. For severe joint pain, I ask the Dr to get images and a referral to PT. Go to a manual PT who is more of a sole proprietor. Mine had movements that were from yoga, pilates and isometrics. I worked until retirement and most of the time, it was possible to tough it out. Resting due to pain is not the thing to do: you will feel better with movement--
