Finding a good practitioner through personal references. Don't ignore body signals. Sorry, this stuff isn't fun.

I have lots of 'weird' auto immune things (allergies, psoriasis are the most common but I have a few others, all of them easily controlled if you are willing to take the meds. I have no issues with meds but some folks really don't like to take them -- it horrifies my husband when I take a handful every night :D .I actually think most people have auto immune things they just don't bother

Have them check for Lyme disease. I have a friend diagnosed with fibromyalgia 10 years ago or so. Now they are saying it was a misdiagnosis and that she has Lyme disease which has went undetected for 15 years or so.
