Yep, skin rashes and eczema (sp?) can be signs of auto immune disease. I've personally never had skin issues, other then some acne and stretch marks!! I've had SO many blood tests done in the last 2 years, I couldn't even begin to remember them all! I know I'm also waiting on a Lymes test that I took last week! Do your hands turn white when they are cold? Mine don't, infact I typically run hot but its another symptom of auto immune problems!

Fibro won't cause swelling but will cause fatigue and pain. Ra will cause swelling along with lots of pain also! I was amazed when the rheumy told me I had already lost 20% of the bone mass in several fingers and toes! RA pain also tends to be on both sides of your body, like if your right middle finger hurts, your left middle finger will hurt too! About the only thing on me that doesn't hurt yet are my elbows!
