She's not on any medicine, she's never had any operations or major illness, the only thing that I can think of is that she had a tickbite 2 years ago.

 All her symptoms are relatively non-specific. If these symptoms have all recently started I would be suspicious of a viral infection such as with Epstein-Barr virus. If you live in the southwest, valley Fever is a definite possibility.
Rheumatologic diseases (such as Systemic lupus erythematosis) are possible but less likely.
I would suggest you discuss her symptoms with her pediatrician to get some testing done. Valley Fever and EBV can be tested for with a blood test. Screening tests such as a CBC will also be helpful.
Best wishes.
