I do not see meditation on your list of things you have tried. I've found that meditation helps one to tolerate pain and discomfort better than anything else. Being specific, the following items on your list may be dramatically improved through meditation: * fatigue * non-refreshing sleep * memory loss, inability to concentrate or focus * muscle pain * confusion * loss of dexterity * nasal congestion, always having to clear my throat * heat intolerance- I absolutely cannot stand the heat- fatigue is magnified by it Most of your problems relate to either unpleasant sensations, lack of focus, or exhaustion. I would submit that all of these problems might be addressed through Vipassana meditation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipassan%C4%81 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipassan%C4%81 Vipassana is a technique through which you learn to observe, and not react to, sensation - pleasant and unpleasant. To put it simply: by cultivating equanimity, it can make pain not 'hurt.' This happens during a single hour-long meditation session, as your body aches, and with regular practice it continues through the day, and throughout your life. It is not magic, and it needn't be religious. I am not a religious person, and it works for me. It is exercise for your brain. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pragmatic_Buddhism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pragmatic_Buddhism You can train your brain to not react to negative sensations. I honestly believe this technique can help you deal with your symptoms and lead a happy, productive life. I learned from this group: http://www.dhamma.org/ http://www.dhamma.org/ but there are many groups, and the technique itself is simple - but I suggest you find someone to teach you. Get a book, too. The man behind that site, Goenka, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._N._Goenka http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._N._Goenka had terrible migraines, and searched for a technique to address his chronic pain until he found Vipassana. There is a high barrier of entry to Goenka's courses however, as they are 10 days (of silence) long. There are also restrictions on health conditions to enter a course, because they are very trying for healthy people, so you would have to exclude much of the information you have shared with us to enter. If I were you, I might do just that.
