Inflammation Everywhere But Joints?

I was first diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, then had the symptoms of Bechets but doctor doesn't think it's that. They said I had joint inflammation so it had to be RA. Open Original Shared Link

I got off all the drugs (arava, ultram, celebrex, prednisone) and lost all swelling in any joint area but my thighs, calves, tops of feet, shoulders, arms, around the elbows, around the knee etc. were all severely swollen with inflammation.

I have a Rheumatoid Factor but my doctor is stumped because i don't have swelling in the joint areas like she once thought. I just swell so much in the muscles that it covers the joints.

Anyway, she wants to just do RA treatment since she is confused but methotrexate puts me in an entire swelling fit, i had a prednisone pack this week to get rid of the inflammation methotrexate caused.

I swell up when i am around gasoline, pesticides and when i eat select frozen dishes etc. IT's like i can't take the pollution and poison in my food.

Anyway, anyone have any idea at all what this could be?

Other symptoms are:

- brain fog, can't think of words i want to say, loose thought etc.

- swelling in the hips

- lower back swelling

- face swelling including sinuses, eyes etc.

- asthma when really bad

- bronchitis cough here or there

Thanks!!!

      Hi Ya All, Dr. just. Told me I have one celiac marker. I have been taking multiple blood test for thin Dr for years. Why couldn’t he have mentioned this! Anyway my functional med practitioner

      Hi, yes I don't. Dr. Who delivered the message said that since I had one marker it wasn't important.

      Not to eat or drink certain ones of what? Do you know what it is specifically you are trying to avoid when you eat? I kind of get the feeling you don't really understand much of this celiac thing.

      Hi Ya , yes I have access to my records. Now if I only knew what I was looking for?? But for me this not important. I already know not to eat or drink certain ones. And I also push the packet on occasionally. Whatnisnto be learned? What's the value to be learned?

      Hello, Jeff and yes, PTL! The word "marker" is typically used in connection with gene testing but gene testing is not usually where testing for celiac disease starts. It usually starts with blood work looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. The most popular antibody test ordered by doctors is the tTG-IGA test but there are others. Here is an overview: Do you have access to your medical record/test results online? What is your next step with this? I assume you are not yet eating gluten free.
