As a couple people have mentioned, you should definately rule out Lyme disease. I was misdiagnosed for many years and had every symptom that you are explaining as well as more. It often mimics other diseases and if left untreated can cause neurological damage and be very difficult to treat.

I was told that I couldn't possibly have it due to living in Utah, although I had been travelling and had been on the East coast as well as Europe. The doctor that told me this actually did agree to test me with some persuasion but ordered a test that was not sensitive enough and resulted in a false negative.

I saw a LLMD (Lyme literate MD) sometime after that and had a "strongly positive" Western Blot blood test. I have been on and off of antibiotics for five years and just now able to go back to work full time, although I still have severe chronic pain and some fatuige.

I was also diagnosed with PCOS when I was twenty (I'm now 41) and I feel that it is probably unrelated.

I would recommend asking your doctor for a blood test through Igenix labs in CA as they specialize in this and you can get all kinds of information at

Of course you may not have it, but I would rule it out in to be sure.
