Keeping a log of my health issues the last few months has paid off! I went over it with the doctor, and he suspects lupus and/or rheumatoid arhthritis. This doctor is so efficient! Within a few minutes of having a potential diagnosis they had already drawn the blood and sent it off to do the tests. Ideally I should get the results in the next few days. He said depending on the results he will either send me off to a rheumatologist or send me for some different tests. 

I really want to get this at least somewhat under control before I run off to a strange country for a year.
