Chronic diffuse and migrating joint and muscle pain is often a sign of an infection, environmental toxicity from metals, chemicals or molds, or possible dysbiosis, yeast or parasite from the gastrointestinal tract. Many initial laboratory work ups do not identify these unless you broaden the scope of the testing. There are numerous labs that are more reliable for testing these various markers. For standard lab, such as labcorp (which most doctors use) I have your doctor order a comprehensive viral and bacterial panel which includes chronic/reactived Epstein barr virus, cytomegalovirus IgG/IgM, HHV6 IgG/IgM, Toxopaslma gondii IgG/IgM, chlaymdia pneumoniae IgG/IgM, and C4a, TNFa, and CD57. To screen for more accurate detection of lyme disease I would use Igenex laboratory. You can call them to obtain a basic lyme kit and have a local mobile phlebotomy service draw your blood for it. For evaluating dysbiosis, yeast or parasites you can can test a stool sample with Genova (PPO insurance plans have an easy pay rate of $129) or Doctors Data (cash rate of $295). I would start there with a good integrative / functional medicine doctor in your area. Don't give up. Once you find the right practitioner they can guide you to the right diagnosis and solution.
