What is this?

I realize you can not give dianoses to people on this site but I would like to know what possibly is wrong with me. I have several pain causing disorders but am in so much pain day and night that I don't think the doctors have it right yet and they have basically stopped looking. My diagnoses: anemia of chronic disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, cervical disc degeneration, lumbar disc degeneration, cervical spondylosis, chronic low back pain, foot pain due to some complex malalignment problem, sciatica, osteomalacia, and another catch-all one- chronic pain syndrome. Aside from some xrays lately of my neck, MRIs in 2007 and 2008, I've had no tests to find out why I'm in so much pain. I can not get comfortable even lying in bed at night to sleep so I have extreme insomnia. I feel like my doctors DO believe that I am in a lot of pain, but I am now in pain management so no one is looking for a cause anymore. Any ideas out there on what is the cause of all this pain? I'm 42 this year, have not been a big exerciser but am trying now to prevent deterioration from progressing. Any help will be appreciated.. Rebecca M.
