What is wrong with my health?

I am looking for some help - please take a moment to read.
I have had a general malaise feeling since I was a teenager (I am 28 now). I get headaches everyday, feel lethargic all the time, feel nauseous, joints hurt, weak, and I get sick very easily. When I break out, my acne stays as sores for months and heals very slowly. My mother had gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with me, which I have always thought that may be why I feel so bad all the time.
I have two daughters, one is 7 and the other is a year and a half. When I was pregnant with both I underwent a Gestational Diabetes test around 24 weeks and they came back normal. I have a neurologist I see for my headaches and we have literally tried every medication on the shelf with no luck. The medication I take only helps about 50% of the time.
This is ruining my relationship with my husband, daughters, and work and I need help. I have researched everything under the sun and still have no clue as to why I feel like this all the time. I have seen tons of doctors and I cannot get any answers. Blood tests are always normal: kidneys, liver, gallbladder, iron, thyroid are all normal. I also take vitamins every day so I don't think it is a deficiency. I have had a brain MRI and a CT scan on my organs and everything is good.
I have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep and feel tired the next morning regardless of how much sleep I have had. I haven't felt "refreshed" after waking up since I was a child. When I do sleep I sweat a lot and my sweat smells very sweet, like syrup. I have ulcers in my stomach because of the amount of medication I take for my headaches. While I have been feeling ill since I was young, it just hit me very hard this past year. I used to have energy to go out with friends, cave diving, hiking, camping, etc. I used to get excited about work because I wanted to climb the ladder. Now all I want to do is sleep and I am no longer impressing anyone at work. At this pace I am scared about what my future holds and if I am strong enough to continue. When I was about 14 my retina somehow detatched and reattached itself (rare). I had to get a laser procedure to fill the hole it left in my eye, but I still see light flashes to this day. I have been working out at least 3 times a week since I was a teenager, but this past year I have not because I just don't feel well.
If anyone has had the same experience please help.
