George1969, On my knees praying for you right now. God Bless You. I have a lot of your similar ailments. Everything pain wise and lungwise worsened after COVID last year. Have you had Covid? I have had Fibromyalgia for 28 years. It's a most misunderstood ailment. Pain everywhere, Fatigue, Headaches, IBS....etc. My Rheumatologist due to my numbers (just like you!) being elevated cannot give me a definite diagnosis of Lupus because they are not elevated enough. I will say this, with me Thyroid Diseases (I have both Thyroid Diseases) go along with Fibromyalgia and they also increase arthritis which I have also. Get your thyroid checked. I have had horrible headaches since being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I recommend you going to a pain clinic. To be honest, Flexeril 5 mg (I can only tolerate 1/2 of one/prescription) helps my muscle spasms from pain the best and keeps me from going on "high octane" pain meds. IF you can stand a massage, get one. It hurts, but, afterwards it helps get the knots out of your muscles. Have you tried a chiropractor? Find a good one....some can do you more harm than good. Voltaren gel (over the counter for arthritis 4 times a day), heat packs, Epsom salt soaks, helps if you can do this. Magnesium 200-400 mg tablets (over the counter) also helps with a lot of things...including Fibro. Get your B12 & D3 checked.....Both can cause pain & fatigue if they are low. Check with your doctor before doing these please. Sometimes you have to go through 2-3 doctors before you find one that will listen. The Lord gets me through this daily. Bless you....
