Hi-

I am hoping someone out there might have some ideas for me- I'm getting
freaked out by some symptoms I am having. I do not think they are
necessarily Celiac related, but I do feel like there is some auto-immune
thing going on. I am not looking to you as doctors, though anyone out there
who is one, please chime in! just need some ideas to bring to my doctor.

4 weeks ago weird things started happening with my hands and arms. It was a
combination of joint pain, aching, hypersensitive and painful fingertips
etc. Within a few days this moved to my feet- ankle and toes pain, bottom of
the feet. Since then I've had primarily joint and bone pain in the fingers,
toes, ankles, elbow and sometimes knee and shin. Also bouts of chest pain
and fatigue. My fingertips feel like they've been hit with hammers. This all
came on very suddenly.

Blood tests thus far are normal- no signs of deficiencies indicating
neuropathy, no rheumatoid factor or ANA (which might indicate lupus- also no
face rash), no elevated Sed rate, normal complete blood count. All of that
is good news, except that I still hurt and am getting freaked out my this.

I am 27, female, otherwise healthy- Celaic diagnosed at 22 with Raynauds
type symptoms all my life.

Thanks for any thoughts.
