Hi there. I too wanted to say I'm sorry as well as congrats on the lil one on the way 
I have had leg pain/ache since around age 8 which I thought were growing pains until I noticed them again as well as symptoms I encountered at age 15(which I thought were due to the depression i had at the time for 2 years after). I recently went to my dr and had bloodwork done. She is testing me for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and lymes disease that I know of. I go monday to get my blood test results. I also have a "smooth tongue" as she calls it which can indicate a vitamin deficiency or anemia. My symptoms include fatigue, weakness, shakiness, hot/cold chills, headache, nausea, joint pain/ache, chest pains and sometimes pain when breathing deeply, sweaty palms,pounding heartbeat, and cold/sometimes purple toes or hands, warmth feeling in my body and this last time earlier this week my arms felt half numb almost...like when your feet fall asleep. My fatigue is horrible and sleep is my only remedy as well as tylenol for pain. Even when I dont have an episode I notice joint pain throughout the day and at the end of the day i'm just ready to go to sleep no matter how long i slept the night before. Sorry for running on about my "crap" lol but I too have been frustrated because I feel like no one believes me because theres nothing on the outside that suggests me being sick. I never have fever or anything so it's frustrating. Just want you to know that you are not alone I too am a mother of a 1 yr old and know what its like to have to be there for them even when you are feeling like you could die. And if you want you can talk with me anytime. take care and keep posted on what's going on! i will keep you in my prayers god bless. -brittanee
