(Not a Health Question?)

Need to know what to call this...

Sent to Health Experts January 24 02:15 AM

7 years ago, my back hurt deep in the bone. 5 years ago, my wrists began to hurt and ache. The pain feels just like as if I had been camping and sleeping on a cold ground all night. The pain radiates up my forearm, in the bones there (ulna and ??). Anyway, 2 years ago the pain began in my shoulders. Now, it seems as if it is in my legs (shin area between knees and ankles). Blood work comes back negative for everything. My doctor thinks this is psychosomatic and refuses to test me further. I have gained weight, lost interest in activities, sleep a lot (I do this to avoid having to move around much and to escape pain). I just don't know how to live with this anymore. I guess this is my last ditch effort to find out what I can research, or ask my doctor to do for me. I just got new insurance, so I plan on trying again to find out what is going on, with a new doctor. I fit the symptoms of Lyme Disease, I also have vertigo and some bladder problems now (leakage, frequent urination, getting up more than three times a night). I am 45 years old and the elderly in my area seem to have no problems walking or doing the lawn...and I dread the pain of even trying.
Please help me find out what is going on with my body.

Optional Information:
Female , Age: 45

Already Tried:
Blood work, anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid shots
