Testing: First your symptoms should be compatible with certain autoimmune diseases. Blood tests may be obtained to confirm the suspicion. If the blood tests are positive or suggestive, a rheumatology consult may be in order On the other hand, what do you mean by having multiple medical problems at your age? Sometimes these may just represent depression. Are you old enough to post questions here?
