Could use some advice- Just beginning to research the cause of my symptoms

I just turned 40, I don’t drink, don’t smoke, lowered soda/caffeine consumption to 2-3 sodas/cups of coffee a day and eat well.  

For the past 3 months I have had a mixture of the following symptoms and cannot find a trigger.  I have had every blood test except RMF, Lyme and West Nile.  All have been negative.  Ibuprofen does not help.  My Dr. doesn’t have any suggestions for further diagnostics or treatment.  I found the ‘tender point’ test for Fibromyalgia but really didn’t fall into that category either.

I am tired of being in pain.  Here are my symptoms:

joint pain
tendon pain (one knee an my shoulders are horrible)
muscle aches (all of my muscles are tight - this has always been a problem)
feverish (skin sensitivity)
headaches ( I take migraine meds before seeing if they turn into full blown migraines)
nausea
eye irritation, glossy, red all of the time
trouble focusing (in terms of my vision)
memory loss
hot flashes before sleeping

Any advice appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Unexplained aches and pains could be due to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn’s disease, H pylori infection, anemia, liver disorders, diabetes, hypothyroidism, Vit B12 or Vit D deficiency and due to calcium or magnesium deficiency. This needs a comprehensive investigation. Consult a doctor please. Take care!

Check this link out and see if it can be of any assistance. Most of your symptoms seem to match the ones listed here, and my guess is the stress/anxiety about them and what the cause could be is only intensifying the pain and discomfort.
