I found physical therapy made my fatigue worse. Yes I got stronger and able to stay on the treadmill longer, but it translated into more time in bed when I wasn't at therapy.

The widespread chronic pain and migraines can be controlled through appropriate antidepressants. Antidepressants will also help with anxiety. They can also help with sleep issues.

Have you tried birth control pills to regulate your period? If you do ask for ones that carry the least risk of blood clots. While all of them can increase clotting some are worse than others. I think it's more related to the type of progesterone as opposed to the dosage. Injectable birth control would also reduce your periods.

Have you been tested for thyroid antibodies? They ruled out thyroid in my case until I pushed for an antibody test. I read a lot of books about thryroid and pushed to have this test done despite normal TSH/T3/T4 because my symptoms fit so well. Found out I had Hashimoto's and now see an endocrinologist. He isn't giving me anything for it but I found out selenium has been proven to help people with Hashi's, and it has helped me a lot.

Consider that you might have food sensitivities/allergies that are making you ill. Have you tried an elimination diet? They're not easy to do but you might learn something. I actually went through the whole "yeast elimination" thing for a few years. Here is one book on the subject. They can't really test for yeast, but if you follow the recommendations and take an antifungal and feel better then it's probably yeast.

Related to thyroid and yeast, people have reported success with the GAPS diet. I haven't tried it so I can't say how well it helps.

As for sleeping, I just reread "Sleep Right in Five Nights". The section on medication is dated at this point, but all the other tips about managing your sleep are still valid. Counterintuitively, sleeping less will make you sleep better and you will feel less tired. But I understand what it's like to be so tired that you need to nap twice a day even after a full night's sleep.

I am sorry you are suffering. Being sick sucks. Good luck.
