Dear Anon, I am sorry you are experiencing so many symptoms at once. I sure hope your doctor can help you identify the root cause of the problem. I have no doubt all the symptoms are related. If you do not find a satisfactory answer from your regular primary care doctor, I suggest consulting a Naturopath.
You do not mention your age, this will help establish a body-stage of aging, i.e. peri or post menopause. At a first read of your symptoms they would appear to be consistent with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I would urge you to ask your doctor to test the levels of:
1. Minerals: Calcium-Magnesium ratio and Potassium, Sodium
2. Vitamin D
3. Adrenal Function (to rule out adrenal fatigue)
4. DHEA level
5. Thyroid T3 and T4
6. Vitamin B (all of them)
7. Zinc
8. Vitamin C
Just to name a few. There are specialized tests that check the above and if your doctor does not know where to start a ND will.
