I have Hashi's, APS, limited systemic scleroderma and secondary Sjogren's. I know about the overlapping symptoms, lol. You know, I was just thinking, were you out in the sun at all recently? 10-15 minutes can make me very sick, and that was even before the sun sensitive drugs. Just a thought. Also, my rheumy says Autumn and Spring are always the worst time of year. I feel for you. I am going through a mini flare myself. If I were you I'd look into the lupus angle, too, as maybe incomplete. Are you on any thing like plaquenil or DMARDS? I wish I had some better advise other than "call your Doc" or the ever popular "get some rest" or "yep, this sucks" LOL. I personally think that they all flare all at once, so I'm more into symptom management at this point.
