By george, I've got it!!! I think I might have finally found out what's wrong with me.... After months and months of symptoms and not knowing what was wrong I think I figured it out. When I talked to my last doctor she said it was stress (yeah right). I thought it was something else, something major... Well after coming across an article and doing some research I think I have it figured out.. I think I have a dairy intolerance/allergy. My last dairy of any kind was Sunday night around 8:30.. Since that time my muscles have stopped hurting and I'm not fatigued anymore.. These were 2 of my biggest symptoms.. My thighs have been hurting no matter what I do, exercise or not, for months and months. Yesterday after lunch I noticed they weren't hurting anymore and they still don't hurt...
After all this freakin time it was a dairy allergy making me feel so awful? Why didn't those ignorant doctors suggest this?
I was going to start out by cutting out dairy and then moving to wheat/gluten if I didn't see relief.. So far it looks like dairy was the issue. What is weird is I don't really have any stomach issues like you see with dairy intolerance.. It's mostly the rest of my body. TMI but normally an intolerance or allergy to a food would give you diarrhea. I'm actually very constipated all the time. That's the only difference. It's only been about a day and a half so we'll see if I get better.

Shanelle, it's amazing that the cure can be in our food. For me, it was gluten. Dropping gluten turned my health around. Good luck with this journey of self discovery.

I'm glad to read that you potentially found the culprit. At least, it's easy to test yourself. I'll be looking forward to hearing more - I hope this is the solution for you.

I was pretty much the same symptoms as you and it turned out to be my heart. They gave it a shock and put it back in rhythm. Went to the doctor yesterday and my kidney's, fluid retention, muscles and joints are all so much better and I can actually get on a tread mill and stepper for 15 minutes. I'm more active and getting back on my diet today. Keep going and you'll get it figured out. Good luck and God bless you.
