You mentioned that bloodwork hasn't shown anything glaringly obvious, but what have they tested for? Someone else asked about Lyme Disease - I second that. Also, have they looked for Anti-Nuclear Antibodies? Their presence could indicate an autoimmune disorder, although their absence doesn't necessarily rule it out.

Good tips, Jedi.

@ajidzior, here's more information about antinuclear antibody (ANA) testing from Mayo Clinic:

@jedikaiti, can you share more about your experience with ANA testing and how it helped with your diagnosis?

I have been tested for a ton of things including Lyme Disease. My ANA was within range. I did just have my 24 hour urine test come back showing a potential adrenal gland issue. I see my endocrinologist on Tuesday. My labs also show mild/potential issues with my kidneys. I have not seen that type of specialists yet but will look into it after the long holiday weekend.
