"Electric Shock" type pain in my scalp!

Hi
I’m almost two years post chickenpox and viral meningitis as an adult.
I experience the same type symptoms in my legs, arms, ribs and the area I broke out with the chickenpox! Along with extreme fatigue, brain fog, memory issues, muscle pain and weakness and gastro issues. I have been unable to work since Feb 2020
I’ve had test after test and still no definitive answers.
Has anyone else had any tests or seen any specialist that have confirmed anything?
