Allergies, blood and immune system

Last year I went in for annual blood work with the complaint of fatigue and joint pain. As a seemingly healthy 20 year old woman my doctor seemed a bit surprised so she ordered an Auto Immnue blood work up. It came back ANA positive with a titre of 1:160 Speckled. I was sent to a Rheumatologist but there wasn’t much progress. The only thing my blood work showed was that my titre had gone up to 1:640 everything else was negative. I was told I have incomplete SLE. I do get a malar rash and I was working outside all last year. I have frequent fatigue and joint pain. I experience pleurisy from time to time and I have arrhythmia (I was told I may have P.O.T.S when I was about 13) Since then I have been experiencing worsening joint pain and it seems as though my fingers are twisting. Most recently I have had this circular itchy painful spot show up on my elbow and I haven’t got the slightest clue what this may be. I go back to my Rheumatologist in November for my annual. Can anyone help with what my be on mt elbow and if they share a similar experience of knowing something is wrong but not knowing what it is?
