Looking to connect the dots

Just trying to piece together what all my zillion symptoms really mean...get some real answers...
Migraines (2-3 per month at least)
All over whole body/back pain, aches, throbs, tingles, hurts
ankles hurt a lot
feet and toes throb (esp. big toe on each foot), ache or go tingly/numbish once and a while
pain in knees – Getting more severe, left knee weaker, both knees click/pop sometimes
calves aches/throb a lot, get tingly, prickly, odd sensations
neck pain
Sciatica --
low/mid back pain, down buttocks, leg – pinches – *have had total Inability to walk until pinching decreases*
hips ache
shoulder pain, especially left side, shoulder clicks and grinds
Difficulty walking long distances sometimes (due to pain in legs and/or shortness of breath), other times a little (short) walk is helpful. Careful workouts on the Wii are OK!
Asthma
Shortness of Breath/gasping feeling
Tightness in chest, pain in breastbone & Ribs (one rib on left side always goes funny)
Allergies & Congestion, post nasal drip
Occasional bladder/urinary issues (urine takes on odor/color once a month +)
Anxiety
Sleep problems
Fatigue
exhausted a lot
restlessness
Menstrual Issues
Chest Pains
GERD/indigestion issues
Irritable Bowels, diarrhea  
Dizzy at times, woozy, light headed/off balance for a few seconds at a time, esp if I get up to fast, but even in a seated position its happened.
Blood Sugar – Very mildly hypoglycemic
Heart – Small/minor Mitrial Valve Prolapse (heart murmur).
Stomach discomfort after almost EVERY meal, mild food or not, doesn’t matter (feel queasy, sick, achy, crampy)
Frequent nausea (especially in the morning, but can follow me all day)
Strange pain under left breast, 1st couple ribs, hurts Worse after laying on left side, similar pain on right side but far less intense
Food seems to need more salt to taste right
Cravings for cheese, salt, or peanut filled foods
Over last 2yrs lost a moderate amount of weight (some due to discontinuing Elavil, the rest of the weight—I don’t honestly know what happened!!)  (was up to as high as 192 a few yrs ago, now down to about 140)

I feel like the night sky -- a constellation (of symptoms!) I'd like to have a neat lil bow to tie them all up in, but I know often with medical issues, it's not that simple....again if anyone can look over my list and any bright lights come on, please tell me!!!
I do appreciate the response I have gotten thus far, but so very much would love additional input as well!!

Thanks!! :)

Thank you! I will google it!!
I just get so boggled & wish I could get real answers from my doctor - I just have gotten to the point where I think I'm "bugging" her, but all I really want is to be normal!

Again, thank you!

I just wrote this to another person with lots of unexplained symptoms and thought it might be of interest to you too.

'This may seem a bit out there but my sister-in-law had so many different issues, chest pain, dizzyness, throat pain, diarrhea, etc.  The list goes on and on.  No doctor could find anything.  A friend of hers identified with some of her symptoms and told her to look into Celiacs disease, an intolerance to gluten, and since adjusting her diet to correspond to a gluten free diet, her symptom have all but vanished.  Do a google search or go to Celiacs.org and try leaving gluten out of your diet for a while and you might be surprised. One in a 100 has Celiacs disease and most don't even know it.  Hope this helps.  KP"
