I found a new doctor that has titled my symptoms Chronic Fatigue & Fybromyalgia, which is what we've thought all along. It's frustrating to me because they are both so vague. It's like a last resort - we can't find anything else - so we'll call it this.
There's not an understood cause or a treatment other than pain medications. I try to get quality sleep, as much exercise as my body can tolerate and good nutrition which is what all the books recommend.
My last lab results showed that my iron was low, so I started on some supplements which have helped. I had two really good days right after I started taking them and was convinced that I was on my way to recovery but since then the improvements have been marginal. It's hard not being able to do anything to fix it but I know I'm doing the best I can.
