Some of those symptoms sound like Lyme Disease. Do you have a more generalized fatigue that seems odd, even for your age and activity level? I know my Dad ended up with Lyme and had weird, migrating pains and stiffness. One day he would have debilitating pain in his legs and then, bam, it was gone, or it would shift to somewhere else. He also had a lot of fatigue and ended up sleeping a lot more than was natural for him. It wasn't a debilitating fatigue, but it was certainly odd in comparison to his previous activity level. The worst part is that most of the symptoms seemed pretty innocuous. For the most part, he was OK, but he knew that something was wrong. It wasn't until he ended up with Bells Palsy that he knew what it was.

Lyme is often confused with Fibromayalga, and a girl I went to school with was misdiagnosed for years as having Fibro while Lyme took a serious toll on her body. It's worth looking into the symptoms for more information. Lyme is most common in the northeast, but it's now in every state.

It's worth looking into; many, many people never end up with the characteristic bull's eye rash and it seems like the symptoms are almost limitless.
