Going crazy

i am just going crazy trying to find out what is wrong with me.. One doc said I could have rheumatiod arthritis but all my blood work was normal..
I have been feeling ill and running a low grade fever for about a year. I have leg aches and numbness and tingling in hands, feet, arms . I feel really achey when the fever (it is only 100.5)is present and then in a couple of days I feel better..Then a day or two and they come back. I have a constant leg ache just in my left leg. I just recently noticed the top of my ankle has pins and needle sensation if you touch it , it shoots to my toes and up my leg. I feel like I am loosing my mind and my husband thinks I am crazy..
I am 36 years old and mother of 3 girls I have always been very active and lately cant seem to do what I am used to doing...I don't think I am depressed but this is going to make me that way..As far as my med history I had a hysterecomy in 1/2002, neck surgery 1/2003 and a horse accident 3/2000 with 2 broken ribs,broke right clavical and left shoulder blade. Had surgery to repare clavical in 6/2001. My lung exrays showed that I have enlarged lungs and possible copd or asthma..I do smoke and need to quit but am having a hard time doing so. Last week was told I have a heart murmur and am going to a cardialogist in july. I just feel as if I am falling apart. The horse accident is to blame for alot of it but that has been four years ago.. My white blood cells are low but normal and my sed rate was 2 which from what I understand is low side of normal..And my lower back is really stiff if I sit or bend over it does not hurt just takes a minute to feel ok. I could keep going but that would take forever.. As for ms I was looking at some of the symptoms and thought I may have it??? I have hearing loss in left ear and dizzyness only when I close my eyes, I have blurry vision that just started last 2 years and comes and goes. I also have had headaches that are in the front one day and back the next time and behind the eyes they are sharp and go away quickly. What I was wondering if blood work is normal in ra?? Sorry for rambling on
