Of the symptoms you've listed, I've had these problems:
severe fatigue
non-refreshing sleep
memory loss, inability to concentrate or focus
muscle pain
dizziness
nasal congestion, always having to clear my throat
heat intolerance
I am still working on resolving some of these, but the biggest 2 culprits were:
1. Chronic dehydration. Even though I thought I was drinking plenty of water (probably 64 ounces a day), it turned out it wasn't enough. Now I drink at least a gallon of water a day - drinks containing caffeine don't count, and most days I drink 1.5 gallons or so. This helped almost all symptoms to some degree.
2. Food allergies, corn syrup specifically. I can eat it and not really notice any effects immediately, I assume that's because it's been in my system since a very early age; but cutting out all food and drinks that contain corn syrup has resulted in significant improvements with regards to fatigue, sleep quality, muscle spasms, memory / focus and nasal symptoms. Regular corn on the cob doesn't seem to have nearly the same effects on me as corn syrup does. I don't know if it's a glycemic index thing or what. What I know is that it's easy to replicate the problem, I can go have a soda or a bunch of white bread that uses corn syrup and I get so exhausted I feel like I'm going to pass out. But if I try Mexican Coke, for example, I feel fine.
I'm not a doctor and have never played one on TV, but my personal guess is that your problems may be diet related. You could try a divide and conquer diet to see if you feel any improvements. Worst case scenario is that it forces you to have a healthier diet while you're figuring out the real cause of your problems.
I would also recommend seeing an actual allergist instead of your regular doctor. I started allergy treatments with my primary care physician and he loaded me up with a bunch of drugs that didn't do me any good. I went to an allergist and have a plan that seems to be working in the long term war against allergies.
Good luck to you, I hope you find out what the problem is (and come back to tell us about it).
