What else could cause arthralgia?

Question

probably since i was 15 years old i have been experiencing some sort of joint pain on and off, but about two years ago it got really bad. the pain was daily and would just not go away. i ended up going to the doctor because around the same time my hair started falling out, i was always tired and getting really sick often.i was diagnosed with arthralgia and referred to a rheumatologist because i had a high ANA titer. i had blood test for a year every three months to check for lupus but since i didnt show any other major symptoms i wasnt officially diagnosed with lupus and was released by my rheumatologist. the pain is now back and my body has been aching(i feels like if i have the flu without the other symptoms) for about a week. Is there anything else besides lupus that can cause these symptoms?

Answer 1

There is a chance that you have a diagnosis I've read about called TMS.  Dr. Sarco has written a book called "Healing Back Pain" which you can get used off of Amazon for about nothing.  Take a look at that.  

Pain like this - of unknown origin - not quite sure what it is....  It's a mystery which Dr. Sarco deals with.  But it isn't only back pain - the book is about pain anywhere in the body.  

Goot luck with that.
