For the past years i'm having episodes that last a couple of months with these symptoms: fatigue, numbness, muscle pain and spasms.what can cause this?

Many things: These symptoms are very nonspecific, and could be due to any number of conditions. A general medical workup should look at thyroid levels, vitamin levels, electrolytes including calcium and magnesium. Further studies for the numbness and muscle pain could include what are called nerve conduction studies. Also discuss with your doctor any family history that might help to explain the symptoms.
