Default Autoimmune blood tests results?

I don't want to enter my bio, already did a lot on brain injury.

Basically have had health problems since brain damage 33 years ago.
Then about 20 years ago started getting high fever, joint paint,arthritis
any time I do anything physical or have stress. It got worse over time.
About 50% of the time it will eventually turn into full blown pneumonia.

I can't move for about 7 to 10 days, am in incredible amount of pain and have high fever. I had pneumonia maybe 2000 times over 20 years? Doctors simply say"thats funny? huh I wonder why?" and then prescribe 2000 times penacilin.

I tried working as a dishwasher, but then fever and pain and arthritis got
so bad, and kept passing out. I went to medical clinic(not usual doctor)
There the doctor(who I never met before) told me that my symptoms sounded autoimmune disorders. I said I never heard of that term before,doctors always prescribe penacilin and send me home.

I could barely make it home, could barely get onto local bus home. Then
was in bed for ten days, lost my job, because I was too weak to use phone and too weak to talk. After ten days I got a blood test. The results showed
autoimmune disorder, but different at the clinic was reluctant to help. I insisted he make appointment with Rheumatologist, since thats what original doctor recommended but was not available.

I finally get to see Rheumatologist after waiting 9 months. As I was
walking into Rheum doctors office, she says"you can go now, your fine"

I go"pardon?uh I havn't sat down yet?"
And she goes "your fine, go home"
I go "I havn't even told you anything about my health condition?"
And she goes "you simply have symptoms of depression"
I go "uh, but what about the blood test results?"
She goes "well you had pneumonia right? well it throws off the
results, so please leave the office now"
So I left.

I went back to the clinic and the doctor there said that the Rheumatologist
diagnosed me with depression, she says that high fever, arthritis, and imagined joint pain are merely symptoms of depression"

I try to get this doctor to reconsider and finally he says ok get another blood test, but it will come out normal. So while I'm not having my flare ups, while I'm feeling my best I get another blood test done. The results show mostly normal. So then the doctor literally throws me out of the office and says don't come back.

Is it possible that my blood results could be mostly normal while not having
a flare up? I can't go to get blood tests while in middle of flareup because
I cant move? I can barely inch my way to toilet?

Thanks.
