Hello! I am trying to get some information/help. I have had some problems with my joints for about two years now. They would become tender and painful and I would be tired, more so than usual. I cannot recall how long it would last. It was not really bad, just noticeable. All that has changed however; about six weeks ago this latest flare up has been just awful. My joints are not just tender they hurt really bad, and they are swollen, slighty red, I am stiff, mostly in the mornings, which usually last about an hour or so. But by mid to late afternoon I feel like I am getting sick, I feel achy all over, like I am running a fever but no fever.
