Hi 

I'm so sorry to hear your problem 

I thought I would respond maybe you can take some of this info 

I'm 22 have pcos,  endometriosis we think because of this this is the reason I'm getting no hormones, I don't low fsh and lh levels at 0.1 Both and I produce no estrogen and progesterone so I'm on Hrt and will need injections to get pregnant when the time is right... Maybe have a look into this because when you don't produce hormones you feel very emotionally unstable, when I didn't have the hormones I felt like nothing bothered me for exsample i would not rember yesterday and just live day to day down... This could be the reason of your sweats to I suffer with this so bad it's the worse out of all the symptoms estrogen helps this 

Do you take metformin for your pcos ?

Also I have had spinal fusion, do you know what your back pain is from? This could be a spinal problem or being low on hormones can cause back pain 

With me having surgery wasn't the best as I suffered badly after surgery but now that I have had the bones fused together I am more flexible and have less pain from movement 

I understand when you say you feel like you have no existence I've felt this way many many times I take amitriptyline for pain and for despression it works so well I hardly have down days... Only with the pain but I take dizapam as I have a lot of muscle spasm pain 

I recommend finding the causes of sweats but sounds like low estrogen since you have pcos have a blood test to find out your levels 

What pain killers do you take and what doses 

I hope this helps a little bit 

Please feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to respond if there's anyway I can help I will xx

No problem i really hope you do get some relief i totally understand how you feel you will get there i know with your pain issue is so difficult, i hate pregablin/gabbapentine just because of the way it makes you feel i took up to 500mg for seizures too your dose is very high dose it help? i hope so I'm very low on metformin too i wish i could say more to help but I'm in a pickle my self, but chin up you life existents is very needed for your family they need you more than you would ever know but i do understand how these days come where you just feel down because of pain and health problems. Oh also i found with taking high doses of prcegablin that i feels more low mood because of the side effects maybe it might be worth seeing the GP and changing meds around

But no problem for the message I'm always on here if you need a chat all the best Xx

I take Amitriptlyn at night to relax muscles and aid getting off to sleep. I take 25mg but up this if I am dealing with a migraine headache. I have noticed that if I increase the dose I get restless legs/cramps so this may well be a side effect of the meds. Also deficiency in magnesium and other minerals can cause this. I now take magnesium in an orange bit c form last thing at night which I think is helping.
