Carly-
I don't intend to be alarmist and this probably does not apply to you, but just in case-
A fairly typical history for PWP is a vaguely defined diagnosis that becomes clearer after a bout of the flu. This seems to be a result of the immune system being overly stimulated by the virus and a failure to respond properly to the "stand down" orders once the infection is under control.
If it were me, I would read up on turmeric and green tea extract for starters. A search of this forum will turn up a good deal of info. Again, it probably does not apply to you, but both of those are cheap and have a high safety factor.
