Multiple Problems: Everything may not neccesarily be related. One possibility that could explain several of the symptoms would be fibromyalgia. That could explain the fatigue, depression, pain and stiffness, memory lapse with normal blood work. I would suggest researching the doctors in your area and see if any specialize in treating fibromyalgia. The lipomas could be removed surgically if painful.

? Fibromyalgia: It sounds like fibromyalgia. See a rheumatologist. Btw, lipomas are not painful.
