Answer 1

fibromyalgia is very hard to diagnose, many people go there whole lives knowing there is something wrong but never get diagnosed. headaches, joint and muscles aches,severe fatigue, depression, intestinal disruptions.here is a paste.

The defining symptoms of fibromyalgia are chronic, widespread pain and tenderness to light touch. Other symptoms can include moderate to severe fatigue, a heightened and painful response to gentle touch (allodynia), needle-like tingling of the skin, muscle aches, prolonged muscle spasms, weakness in the limbs, nerve pain, functional bowel disturbances,[4] and chronic sleep disturbances.[5] Sleep disturbances may be related to a phenomenon called alpha-delta sleep, a condition in which deep sleep (associated with delta waves) is frequently interrupted by bursts of alpha waves, which normally occur during wakefulness. Slow-wave sleep is often dramatically reduced.[citation needed]

Many patients experience cognitive dysfunction[6] (known as "brain fog" or "fibrofog"), which may be characterized by impaired concentration,[7] problems with short[8][7] and long-term memory, short-term memory consolidation,[8] genitourinary symptoms and interstitial cystitis, dermatological disorders, headaches, myoclonic twitches, and symptomatic hypoglycemia. Although fibromyalgia is classified based on the presence of chronic widespread pain, pain may also be localized in areas such as the shoulders, neck, low back, hips, or other areas. Many sufferers also experience varying degrees of facial pain and have high rates of comorbid temporomandibular joint disorder.

Eye problems such as eye pain, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and fluctuating visual clarity, can also be a symptom of the condition. [9]As a consequence of this sufferers may have to change their lens prescription more often.

Symptoms can have a slow onset, and many patients have mild symptoms beginning in childhood, that are often misdiagnosed as growing pains.[citation needed] Symptoms are often aggravated by unrelated illness or changes in the weather.[citation needed]They can become more tolerable or less tolerable throughout daily or yearly cycles; however, many people with fibromyalgia find that, at least some of the time, the condition prevents them from performing normal activities such as driving a car or walking up stairs. The disorder does not cause inflammation as is characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis, although some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may temporarily reduce pain symptoms in some patients. Their use, however, is limited, and often of little to no value in pain management.[10]

Not all patients have all symptoms.

~ Hi ~ ! Wow, I'm sorry about you're going through, it sounds very painful and I understand why you'd be concerned. Have you been tested for Lyme Disease? (If you were ever in area with ticks or have a pet that could have brought one in). If you haven't been tested for Lyme Disease, I recommend your talking testing you for that. Here is a list of symptoms:

It sounds like you've had a lot tests, have you been tested for autoimmune illnesses like Lupus?  There are also illnesses like Fibromyalgia or CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) that are more challenging to diagnose, but the symptoms are very real just the same and they can be very painful and debilitating condition. However, with all these conditions, there are strategies for living your life to it's fullest
