Brief Answer:
Please attach the reports.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
It is possible that these symptoms may be related to thyroid disease. Please attach your previous reports so that I know what tests already have been done and what are the diseases that have been excluded . Please get S.TSH ,T3,T4, Anti TPO antibodies.
Some autoimmune diseases like lupus can give rise to such features so ANA testing is also recommended.
You can discuss this with your treating doctor .Any other issue please feel free to ask.
Take care.

Dear Madam,
Thank you for reverting back.
Well I dont find anything to specifically worry about , all the symptoms can be unrelated also , but we need to find out that they may not have an underlying problem to it . Even anxiety can give rise to all these symptoms .
So dont worry see your doctor and discuss it with him , I hope we will be able to pin point your disease.

Dear Madam,
It will be difficult to say that just on the basis of symptoms but yes all these can be a possibility but we need to get a hormonal profile done and MRI brain and CSF examination for the same to rule that out . Until and unless its done how can we rule them out so its better to see the results and then comment .

Well yes this can be true but MS if affects the spine will produce different kind of symptoms which you dont report . So I dont think you are having that.
You dont report any history of swelling , so I dont think you are having arthritis , you are having arthralgias so that can be non specific also.
