severe symptoms

I am a 35 y-o- male and for the past 7 weeks now I have been having strange symptoms like nausea, dizziness (extreme at times), headache behind the eye and sensitivity to light, joint/muscle aches and stiffness mostly in hands and feet but occassionally like a full body flu-type attack, weakness in wrists, cold feet and hands that feel like they are plunged in ice water when i am seating in the office, constant feeling of cold so that I just can't get warm, occasional hot flashes and chills, exhaustion and sleepiness all day but hard to stay asleep, and memory problems/disorientation like a brain "fog", flashes and shadows out of the corner of my eyes. in the past i have been treated of pneumonia on three occasions. when i went to my GP he said i had chest infection and was given antibiotics and afterwards he said my chest was clear. but my problem is that these symptoms are still there, i feel weak, dizzy, joint pains and weakness and fever. please help me.

Hello Enyi, You need a second maybe third opinion. Have you had your thyroid tested?  Most of which sound like Hypothyroid problems but without testing is difficult to determine. May not even be a Thyroid issue but something else. You may want to go directly to the Emergency Room.
Keep us posted on how you are doing but seek help , without delay.

There are some types of viral infections that can take weeks or months to get completely over.

Have you had any thyroid testing done to see if these symptoms could be caused by either hyper or hypothyroidism?  

If you've had thyroid testing done, please post the test results, along with the reference ranges from your lab report, since these ranges vary from lab to lab and must come from your own report.
