Have you tried acupuncture? You would want to find an OMD (doctor of oriental medicine) -- it's a degree that requires *much* more training than just an Acupuncture license. In your situation, I would call around to try to find someone who's dealt with something like your situation before. Or at least sounds like they know their stuff.
Traditional Chinese Medicine sees the body as a network of interweaving lines of energy affecting both physical and emotional health. With your symptoms, the flow is blocked and you're getting jangly feedback in different (and randomly changing) parts of your body. Acupuncture realigns the flow.
I've also got a whole host of chronic health problems, and used to be bedridden. Pretty much everything is now in remission, and my OMD gets the lion's share of the credit. I mean, seriously. I can *run* now after having walked with a cane for three years.
If you've never had acupuncture, the most important thing is that it *doesn't* feel like needles. They're so thin, you don't even register them being in your skin. For me it feels like a weird electrical tingling that starts out intense and then dissipates during the time on the table.
If you wanna pick my brain about this, you're welcome to find me on AIM (usernick: thesageness) at any time. :)
