Autoimmune testing started back in 2014 My sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein have also been high since 2014

Presenting problem: I have been experiencing fibromyalgia type symptoms since 2014. I have numbness, tingling, nerve pain and chronic fatigue. I have been sent to multiple specialist including rheumatology and oncology. Ever since 2014 they have tested me for a slew of auto immune issues But have always said that I am fine. Over the years my pain has gotten more intense and I feel it in my joints. Currently I have a pain on the scale of eight on a daily basis in my hips and lower spine. I have had an MRI that showed that I have moderate osteoarthritis. The pain keeps getting worse and I am looking for answers. It is also to note that with my new back pain I am having occasional weakness in my legs and my memory is very bad. I constantly forget words and lack memory from childhood and also don’t remember things from a week ago.
