What Causes Fatigue Along With Abdominal And Joint Pain?

I m very frustrated with my current doctor. I don t feel he listens. My symptoms include severe fatigue (no matter how much sleep I get), vague abdominal pain/fullness (diagnosed with benign uterine polyps a year ago), back and joint pain (some of the back pain due to surgery for a herniated disc, but still persistent 2+ months later. Some constipation, joint pain. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism a year ago but feel no different despite medication. I also have some anxiety, not all the time though.I am a 46 yr old nurse and not menopausal, my period is heavier than it used to be but regular. Basically, I m tired of being tired and don t want to just take another pill...
