A larger than normal amount of gas in the intestines (metorism) is a functional disorder due to decreased peristaltic action of the intestines. It is probably nothing serious because if it was something serious (cancer for example), you probably wouldn’t have survived for 5 years.
Hot flashes and irregular cycles could be due to peri-menopause but you can check up on this at your gynecologist's office.
If you are experiencing chronic generalized joint pain, you can request some blood laboratory tests and an x-ray image to exclude rheumatic or degenerative diseases. You can consult a rheumatologist for more information.
