 Most of your symptoms are very nonspecific, unfortunately. This makes it difficult to identify any specific disorder that may be causing them.
Of those on your list, weakness in the legs is a bit more specific. I would suggest you consider seeing a neurologist to have this evaluated. This may be helpful in determining the cause of your other problems as well.
Sorry I cannot be of more help. Best wishes.
