Can anyone help me figure out what is going on with my body?

F, 24, 123 lbs. I've been dealing with a frustrating collection of symptoms for years, and I feel like every time I get something tested, I'm told it's "negative" or normal. My only confirmed diagnosis is **celiac disease**, but I still don't feel like I have an explanation for everything I'm experiencing.

The biggest issue is chronic hand/wrist and joint pain that I've had for \~5 years. It's especially in between my fingers, around my finger joints/knuckles, and wrists. It can feel like pressure, aching, or like my joints are uncomfortable from the inside. Rubbing them gives temporary relief, but typing, using my phone, pressing on things, gripping, moving my fingers, or even petting my dog can make the pain worse.

I've had both X-rays and an MRI of my hands. The only thing they showed was a small amount of degeneration around my thumb, but importantly, no inflammation. So I have pain that feels very joint-related, but imaging isn't showing inflammation that would explain the amount or distribution of pain.

I also experience:

* Painful/heavy periods
* Body/joint aches and feeling generally uncomfortable
* Fatigue and low energy
* Brain fog
* Headaches
* Bloating/digestive symptoms
* Flares where I feel significantly worse for no obvious reason
* Temperature sensitivity

I've had multiple tests done and have been told that apparently everything is negative/normal, but I'm still having symptoms that affect my day-to-day life.

Relevant lab results (all within normal range unless noted):

* CRP (inflammation marker): <1 mg/L and <0.2 mg/L on two separate tests — normal
* Fecal calprotectin (gut inflammation): 33 (ref <173) — normal
* TPO thyroid antibodies: 14 and 1 IU/mL — normal
* TSH: 0.75, Free T4: 1.4, Free T3: 3.5 — all normal
* CBC (WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Platelets): all within range
* Ferritin/Iron: 20–29 ng/mL and 110 ug/dL — normal, ferritin on lower end
* Vitamin D: 24.9 ng/mL (insufficient) → improved to 31 ng/mL (optimal) after supplementing
* B12: 560 pg/mL, Homocysteine: 6.2 — normal
* HbA1c: 5.3–5.4%, Glucose: 82–86 mg/dL — normal
* Anti-gliadin IgA: elevated (250, ref 0–157) and Secretory IgA elevated (3198) — consistent with celiac
* Gut zonulin (permeability marker): normal
* DUTCH hormone panel: estrogen/progesterone largely within range; DHEA-S low-end; one cortisol metabolite (b-THF) below range; B6 marker (xanthurenate) elevated, suggesting possible B6 insufficiency

I'm really hoping someone might recognize this combination and tell me what eventually helped them figure it out, what type of specialist they saw, or what tests were actually useful.

Especially interested in hearing from anyone who had chronic hand/finger joint pain + body pain + painful periods + fatigue/headaches and initially had normal or negative testing.

At this point I'm just trying to figure out what direction to go in because I know something is going on, but I don't know what.

Lifetime Wellness corporate package cost per person?

Hi! I’m looking into the Lifetime Wellness corporate wellness package for my workplace and trying to get a sense of pricing before I reach out directly.

Does anyone know roughly how much it costs per person (or how their pricing structure works for corporate groups)?

I’m trying to figure out if it’s even realistic for my company before I submit an inquiry, so any info or ballpark estimates would be super helpful. Thank you!
