Brief Answer:
Sympathetic stimulation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There seems to be a lot of sympathetic activity(stressful) in your life. Stress could have added to the current set of symptoms.
The stress can be physical or mental stress. Muscle cramping, painful bodyache and headache represents tension headache. You can take simple pain killers like Ibuprofen to over come them.
Infection can cause stress as well. So it is important to check if there is infectious process hence get a battery of blood tests done including ESR and counts. Urine routine is also useful. THat determines if there is infection.
Hydrating body with water helps a lot in relieving the spasms and cramping. So increase normal temperature water intake.
Let me know the results of tests.
