What Causes Fatigue, Joint Pain And Rashes All Over The Body?

Question: In the past month I have had swelling and joint pain in my knees and elbows that comes and goes. at times I felt unbalanced. This week on Tuesday I had an overwhelming feeling of tiredness in the afternoon at work and started aching all over, I could hardly move. I went straight home and to bed. That night I had restless night with wild dreams and night sweats and felt feverous. The next morning I was exhausted and my eyes were red and my cheeks too. That has gone on the last 3 nights but after I pull myself together in the mornings I feel better and make it through the day. The extreme exhaustion is gone. Yesterday I felt a bit itchy on the back of my neck and shoulders and Today I have awakened and I am covered by a rash.

Please see my replies at the end of each question

3. The joint swellings you had..Did it disappear itself or did you take some medicines? It disappeared on its own took advil for pain relief during

4. Could you give me more details on the rash..The location of it ??If you could attach a picture it would be helpful- I have a picture. How do I get it to you?

5. ANy history of weight loss or apetite loss?? I have not felt that hungry this week

6. The fever you mentioned..Was it high grade or low grade?? low grade

7. ANy blood tests done so far, none
I found out how to upload the picture of the rash.The rash isn't that itchy and the is all over my entire body. I attached the picture of the rash on my chest. On mine shins it looks just as it does when I go skiing in a cold climate and my skin just extra dry. Last night I had a normal night, no night sweat. I forgot to mention when I was having the feverish feeling and night sweats I was also have bizarre dreams.I live in the Cayman islands and we do not have any Rheumatologist here, so advising me what blood test I should have done would help me identify my issues so I can get treatment. Also what you suspect it might be.

Thank you. I am to go to hospital in morning for tests. I ended up seeing a doctor here and he prescribed prednisone 20 mg for 5 days, klaricid Xl 500 mg, histal, and a cream and blood test. I will compare his list to your list. Not really sure the antibiotic is necessary. My joint pain is a lot better after only 1 prednisone but the rash is still bad, I didn't take the histal due to the fact it makes you drowsy but will do so today. I am not having any abdominal pain, back pain or problem eating. I have had IBS most of my adult life and that has been acting up recently.

Hi, all the blood test came back normal according to the Doctor who just called me. he says there isn't any Rheumatoid factor either.... so what on earth is wrong with me? Why have my joints been swelling, night sweats. It is odd.
