PLS HELP! what should I do?Where should I go? WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN???

Please help.I'm 30 y/o BF. Since childhood, I've had many infections colds/flu/sinus infections/bronchitis, etc. I'd be weak for weeks,only to be ill again.Drs d/k why. High school I had mono.In college I was dx w/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).So,I've lived w/episodes of severe fatigue, w/ppl have to help me walk, bathe, eat, etc.)
Fortunately, the immune illnesses, migraines, fatigue,etc reduced when I incorporated holistic health&add very low gluten&sugar diet, a few years back.

HOWEVER, for past 3 years on/off my HANDS get Puffy,COLD&CHANGE COLORS, which was checked by my.Drs&Neurologist=found Nothing again!  (It is truly not uncommon to have tests, then they have me comeback for retest for 1reason or another, to finally get end result of "nothing found" ot "non-significant findings.")
*** Recently I am STRUGGLING HARDER w/ FATIGUE & MOVEMENT. I am more CLUMSY & FORGETFUL& FOGGY. I notice my MOODS SHIFT, SLIGHTLY-MODERATELY ( irrelevant of stress nor PMS). SUDDEN WEAKNESS IN LEGS. For past 3 months I experience NEW TREMORS &FREQUENT WEAKNESS IN ARM. Ocasional NUMBING of LIP & DIZZINESS. WORSENING VISION. I am really not quite sure why all of this is happening.

FYI I have Already Tried:
Astragulus,Pau d'arco,Burdock root&vitamins(PRN), = greatly helped my immune system &keeps me from being ill with cold/flu &allergies for well over a year, compared to every few weeks on various prescriptions. (My last flu/infection, landed me in hospital tested again lupus,etc & "nothing")... Magnesium & B-vitamins = no migraines! Alot of greens (chlorphyll,spirulina). D-ribose. Eat regular &small. Using stress mngmnt&relaxation.Lightening my work/home load. Light movements.

WHAT ELSE SHOULD I DO?  I AM BY NO MEANS AGAINST CONVENTIONAL MEDS/DRS.I JUST WANT RESULTS! WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE CAUSE? WHAT TESTS SHOULD I  REQUEST? ( The one common feeling by all = "something is off & odd, even w/tests are showing nothing.") ANY IDEAS THAT COULD LEAD ME TO ROOT CAUSE?
THANK U

Do your ankles swell, in addition to your hands?

Thank You for even offering ideas & offering your time dear. I am desperate for answers b/c doctors are at a loss and one doctor  nonchalantly said "even if you do have disease..you will just have to live with them (manyautoimmune disease) anyways, since there's no cure for issues like CFS/FMS." But I am determined to solve & increase my quality of life!

Thanks again

Hi sorry for all u r going thru...did they check u for lymes, ...thyroid? or fibromyalgia?

Fibro is now believed to have a root of a virus......or infection.We do have a Fibro forum here on MedHelp....U may find some info there as well as in the thyroid forum.

Good luck
