Super random, not a doctor -- lyme disease is one test. Another is unidentified food allergy. Close friend had similar symptoms for almost a year. Thought he was dying. Turned out to be lactose intolerance :(

Lyme doesn't fit the symptoms very well, though not completely out of the question.

Lactose intolerance is a possibility too, it's on our long list of the things to eliminate. I'm going to quit milk based products today.

Lyme is very hard to diagnose, often misdiagnosed. "The difficulty in diagnosing Lyme disease is made even more challenging when you consider that the possible number of symptoms totals around 100."
