Thanks for using the forum. I am happy to address your questions, and my answer will be based on the information you provided here. Please make sure you recognize that this forum is for educational purposes only, and it does not substitute for a formal office visit with a doctor.
Without the ability to examine and obtain a history, I can not tell you what the exact cause of the symptoms is. However I will try to provide you with some useful information.
I have noticed that you have posted similar symptoms previously this month. Please refer to the answered post dated Jun 16, 2010 05:55AM.
The symptoms you are describing may be reflective of emotional/psychiatric problems related to stress (what is called somatization disorder). The latter is a true medical condition whereby instead of a patient experiencing depression or anxiety, they experience physical symptoms, and once the stress is addressed, the symptoms resolve. Fibromyalagia is another medical condition that leads to whole body pains, and is best treated with medications such as lyrica and neurontin, exercise, and physical therapy.
One differential that should be included is a seizure. If you have not had an EEG performed in the past, and if felt clinically warranted by your physician, it may be worth pursuing.
You should follow up with your PCP to discuss your concerns.
Thank you for this opportunity to answer your questions, I hope you find the information I have provided useful, good luck.
