I've been having these symptoms for about 7 months now, like this weird internal fever where I feel hot inside, but it doesn't show up on a thermometer. I also get frequent headaches and this annoying pain in my joints, especially in my hands and legs. It's gotten to the point where I'm just not motivated to do anything. What do you think might be going on with me?

I'm trying to understand the difference between the ANA test and the COVID antibody test. If someone has lupus, would they automatically test positive on a COVID antibody test? I'm just a bit confused about how these tests work, especially for those with autoimmune conditions.

No both are different

I'm really worried about some chest pain I've been having. It's there when I breathe deeply, move my neck, or even press on the area, and it all seems to start from the straight back. This has been going on for the past 2 years and I just don't know what to do about it. What could be causing this kind of pain?

I've been cracking my fingers in an unusual way, like sideways, which puts a lot of pressure on my joints. It's become a bad habit over the years. Now, the joints have grown, but theres no pain or tightnessjust feels a bit odd, though it seems normal to me. The thing is, it doesnt look normal; there's growth around the joints, especially the IP joints. When I touch them, it feels like theres extra tissue, and I can move it without any pain. Im curious about what this could be. Any ideas what's going on with my fingers?
