See rheumatologist: Your lab data and symptoms are suggestive of auto-immune disorder, such as lupus erythematosus. It would be prudent to discuss the matter with your doctor and consider consulting a rheumatologist. See this site for some info. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000435.htm.

See details: A negative ANA and sm antibody makes lupus unlikely but not impossible. Of course there are other numerous causes of an inflammatory arthritis. See a rheumatologist.
