I haven't heard or read anyone having such bad joint problems.

No swelling that I can see but I could hardly walk for 3 days due to severe knee pain.

Then it went to my wrists/hands.

Then to my elbows for a couple of days.

But all my joints don't seem to work right. They lock, crack, pop, etc.

I have to keep moving my wrists and hands to get comfortable.

I had to take pain meds especially for the awful headaches.

Does anyone else have major joint problems??

Thanks!

Oh and I finished my 3 weeks Doxy a few days ago and now he's calling in Ceflin (sp).

I asked for something stronger than Doxy and he initially told me Doxy is the strongest but I was only on 200 mgs a day.

Seems there has got to be other treatments!

Forgot to ask if you can have such joint pain without visible swelling?

Joint pain is a very severe issue w/me. Can barely make it up the stairs.
Sometimes I get knee swelling but most often not.
Pain meds barely touch it.
I think it was better when I was on Plaquenil.
Will be asking my LLMD next appt.
Right now I'm treating Bart but no success as yet

Thanks for responding!

I haven't been tested for any co-infections.

I just made an appt. with LLMD and soonest can get in is November 18th!

Can't believe I have to wait that long.
