My immune system seems to be non-existent. I catch anything and everything and have it days longer than anyone I know.

Keeping up your vitamin C content can help; I have doubled my intake, and I don't seem to be doing quite so badly. I've had Fibromyalgia since I was 8 (was diagnosed at 21)

In addition to that, I can't sleep, I have the worst PMS known to man (Which I never have had before this year), I have candida issues, I can't loose weight for the life of me, I am ALWAYS tired and even the simplest activities wear me out, and yes I have strange body aches and a headache every single day.

For sleep I use hypnotherapy tape and guided meditation, I also have a strict bedtime routine if I don't follow it I don't sleep.... for the PMS have you tried switching to a Diva Cup (we call it a Mooncup) - a lot of people find using one instead of tampons or pads removes most of their PMS. I know it does with me. Also ginger tablets helps your body regulate itself, has also been proven through research to help with pain.

Truth is, I would really like NOT to be tired and sick all the time. I try my best to fake it with the kids. I try to sleep when they are at school or nap with my four year old. This last week I haven't been able to stay awake.

Don't fake it get their help, explain it simply that Mummy doesn't feel well and needs their help so the home functions better, I tell my children when I am bad, find even Gubby at 2 will sit me down and get me a Pepsi - I do find caffinated soda is a bit of a lifeline in mid afternoon. We have 2 amazing young women in our branch their Mum has MS and have helped take care of her, I think you do your kids a disservice not letting them help.
If you are feeling confused or befuddled or faint try an orange juice sit down for 10 minutes then eat something.
I find my diet has a huge impact, eating less meat helps.
