Strange symptoms, any suggested causes?

Firstly, I am seeking medical attention and have had a number of blood tests and more tests planned, but none of it is making sense yet, so looking for suggestions of possible causes.

I don’t have health anxiety and am not phased by looking things up on Dr Google, just looking for possibilities that could suggest further tests to discuss with my Dr. I have ME & fibromyalgia, it’s new more recent symptoms being investigated.

Obvious causes of symptoms so far ruled out.

random symptoms-
-bouts of exceedingly itchy skin
-pitting oedema (lower legs)
-fluid retention / swelling in hands / fingers, around groin & pubis area & poss abdomen, face and underarms
-pain in most joints, recent increase from previous daily levels, particularly in neck
-strange not quite dizzy, more a top to toe fizzing when turn head to either side / look up or even just moving eyes in those directions
-elevated ESR that has increased since start of the year

Like I said, really rather random, ideas / thoughts appreciated.

Thanks 😊
