Any suggestions?

I have been sick for over 2 1/2 years, it started with a cold, or bronchitis, so we thought.  
Here are the symptoms I have every day:
Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, my lungs feel like they are being squeezed constantly, coughing, sharp throat pain, spine pain, ears pain and they are always plugged; throbbing, pulsing and stabbing pains throughout whole body, Migraine-constantly for months, previously daily; Headaches constantly, Sizzling at the base of my skull, swooshing across back of head, light headed, dizzy, unsteady, difficulty swallowing, things I eat get stuck, liquid comes back up-if I lay back or tip head down; hoarseness, body aches, left side pain-constant & stabbing, veins on feet pop out, joint pain, shaking, numbness, tingling, Left leg deep internal pain, body turns into a noodle and I slump to the floor, walk into things, constant nausea 24/7, extreme hypersensitivity-(smell, light, & sound), shooting pains & pulsing throughout my body; shiny hands; Blue lips, fingers, & toes; Cold fingers, toes, feet, face & nose; Stinging/burning when I touch my hands, face or feet to warm water; Numbness, tingling, prickly feeling in extremities, stabbing sharp pains & twinges in my chest; shaky & unable to move every morning, can’t get out of bed, or I will fall.
These aren’t all my symptoms, but ones I deal with on a daily basis.  I have had tons of medical testing, with no real answers.  I have only been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a few months ago, but my Rheumatologist said that is not what is causing everything, that is it only a very small portion.  Prior to all of this I was very healthy.  
Any advice?  Thank you!

Hello~Johnnyrocket has given you some great suggestions. I would also see a naturopathic physician, they go into a lot more detail when taking the patients' history and do many tests that conventional MD's don't do. They can sometimes discover things that other doctors can't. Also, try a chiropractor, sometimes, when vertebrae are out of alignment, a person can have odd symptoms. He/she will take some x-rays, study them and then discuss the results with you. A few adjustments should have you on the road to recovery.

I have a friend that has been having many of the same problems that you’re having for the past 20 years. She was finally recently diagnosed with multiple Vascular Compression Syndromes including:

SMA Syndrome (Superior Mesenteric Artery Compression)
-Feeling of good getting stuck


Nutcracker Syndrome (Left Renal Vein Compression)
-Left Side pain and stabbing feeling

May-Thurner Syndrome (Left Iliac Vein Compression)
-Left Leg Pain

And many, many other problems can be caused by these conditions.

Many of your symptoms could also be symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or ME. Case studies have also shown that Severe Compression of the Left Renal Vein (Nutcracker Syndrome) can cause ME/CFS. I would recommend joining some of these groups on Facebook. The members of these groups are very knowledgeable and helpful. Very few doctors have ever heard of these conditions so they are rarely diagnosed. Hope this might help!
