do you have the ability to see a rheumatologist? You would probably need a referral, and if cost is an issue you could see if they have a financial assistance plan (they'll probably let you go if you haven't finished filling it out too)

bc idk about anything specific but it sounds familiar and I think it was something affecting the way water collects in the body which sounds autoimmune and that would be a rheumatologist thing if a primary dr doesn't have an answer
