What could this be?
I'm not sure where this should be posted as my problem is not directly related to asthma.
For the past 5 years I have been experiencing shooting and stabbing pains throughout my body. They can be anywhere in my body from my shoulders down to my feet. Sometimes the same area will pulse for a couple minutes and sometimes it will just be a sudden surge lasting only a second. It's very normal for me to have 20+ "attacks" a day. Sometimes they are so painful and unexpected they make me gasp or even grab the affected area and stop until the pain subsides.
I have been to 3 doctors and have described in detail my symptoms. They all required the same bloodwork even though I told them it had been done before and everything came up negative. I tested negative for: Diabetes, Thyroid problems, and Anemia. They have given me recommendations such as drinking plenty of water, exercise, etc... which I explained I already do. They don't seem to have an answer and I don't know what else to try.
I don't know if any of this is directly related but I have had asthma since I was a baby and it has gone dormant since I was 14 (I'm 25 now). I was also diagnosed with Meniere's Disease when I was 15. I do a good job on maintaining a low salt/caffeine diet. I also wake up every morning and never feel rested. This has been going on for about 7 years now. I've tried going to sleep different hours of the day/night and sleeping anywhere from 4 to 12 hours. I haven't found anything yet that helps.
I eat healthy, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly. I have no idea what is causing these pains or my sleeping problems but I would sure appreciate any advice. Thanks.

A formal sleep study in a sleep laboratory will probably be required to diagnose and treat your sleep disorder.
So-called "shooting pains" are common but usually, for a given individual, infrequent. They can be associated with peripheral nerve disease, either primary or secondary, as with diabetes. Your best bet would be to see a good neurologist. If you have already seen a neurologist, in private practice, you might want to seek a second opinion at an academic center such as the Mayo Clinic.
