I am SO glad you all posted this--I've had the exact same symptoms for 10 months and thought I was losing it! Has anyone seen a rheumatologist? I started seeing one in October and couldn't believe all the things she found with her speciality in auto immunity that other doctors miss. Joint pain/swelling, lungs, skin, it's all related to our faulty UC immune systems and makes us 10x more susceptible for other autoimmune type disease. The first thing on the questionnaire I had to fill out was "do you have Chrons or colitis". She fixed in 5 minutes some inflammatory joint pain I've had for years that I thought was "just age". Same with suggesting getting checked for the lung issues for the same reasons (havent done that yet). Anyway, just a suggestion--I was kind of in awe of how much Rheumy's can piece together from looking at fingertips and skin, and how little other doctors--even specialists--are aware of autoimmune manifestations.
