3. Invisible bruises that last as long as a regular bruise.
4. spinal pain, herniated disk and sciatica flares that go along a nerve path and are hellish, but then recover in time.
5. Areas of the body that have shooting pulsing nerve pains for 2-3 days intermittently and then go away.
It seems like the nerves in my body get damaged and then almost heal only to get damaged again.

I feel that you are associating shifting symptoms with healing and damage. IMHO symptoms can scurry around willt-nilly or set in for the long haul. I've had symptoms that last as short as a couple of weeks(burning tops of feet). Others that dig in and last 6 mo to 1yr.(Deep buttock, hip, lumbar pain). In my mind the nerves have not healed just because something else starts hurting. I get it that this is not going to help a damn bit but who knows if you look at something from a different angle it may help you cope better. I wish I had better advise but I still try to exercise to tolerance and eat as well as I know how. The parade of symptoms marches on. Have you tried Gabapentin? Are you taking fish oil or EFA's?
