Hi there z06,
Around the time that all of this started, were you diagnosed with any sort of infection? And, if so, were you prescribed any of the following antibiotics: Cipro, Levaquin, Tequin, Avelox? These are fluoroquinolone antibiotics; the most common side effects of them are exactly what you are describing. Joint pain, fatigue, memory loss, etc... Side effects from this class of drugs can appear weeks or even months after you have stopped taking them, and can persist for years or even be permanent.
Just a thought if you want to check your prescription history...most doctors are woefully uneducated when it comes to this class of drugs and the risks involved with them. If someone had told me this a year and a half ago, my life wouldn't have been destroyed...
