I am new to this forum - below is my history - any thoughts would be appreciated:

I am 40 year old female - general good health

Sept 2007 Reactivated mono, ASO titer 416 treated with amox 10 days

Oct-Dec 2007 - joint pain in elbows - worsened each month, most painful in left elbow, fatigue continued

Dec 2007 - ASO titer 400, pain in elbows, wrists (left elbow considerable pain) general malaise - treated with cephalosporin

Jan 2008 - ASO 417 joint pain every day (elbows, wrists, knees), slight swelling to left elbow, pain in knees, ankles and feet when I get up

Each morning is difficult now, low grade fever 99 certain times of the day, continued fatigue; occasional discomfort in chest on left side); episodes of weakness in knees, cannot stand comfortably (like my knees are going to give out) - last 1-2 hours, then subsides

I have been to see a Rhumatologist, who gave me short term pain meds that I use sparingly, and now have an appt. with infectious disease dr. and for 2D echo; follow up with rheum. next week.

I was given RX Feldene for a short period, which made me feel great but was taken off that as rheum thought it was not right med for me, considering I had hiatal hernia in 1989?

I had strep throat in highschool, no other time that I am aware of

CRP and sed rate continue to come back normal

I have mediterranean anemia (thallas minor)

I now have a small lump almost to the inside of my left elbow (not protruding, just raised area of skin)

Has anyone had these symptoms?

Thanks
