Brief Answer:
need evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi
With all of your features, it seems that you probably have fibromyalgia. But before concluding, I like to rule out other diseases XXXXXXX lupus, diabetes, etc. If you can get ANA test, blood sugar test and stool routine- that will help.
But for fibromyalgia, there is no specific test. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. You should discuss about this possibility with your primary doctor.
Take care
