Exhausted and in Pain: Seeking Advice

So I am so exhausted all the time and I sleep and take naps for a total of up to 19 hours a day. My chest, ribs, and back are in agonizing pain. My hair has been falling out. I have lost my appetite and I am peeing way more then normal. Has anyone else had anything like this? What should I do?

Also Vitamin D level. My bones hurt all the time. I just had mine checked and it was one tick away from being in the severe category. Dr put me on 2000iu per day.

Your doctor might have a 24 hr emergency phone line (try searching online for a 24hr line + your insurance, or a 24hr line + doctors office name). Call that number if you can and explain your situation if you feel the need. Otherwise, make certain you attend your doctor's appointment on the 22nd. Your doctor should know what it could be, and should tell you all of the things it could be. Make sure the doctor is fully transparent when necessary and is able to explain what's going on. Some doctors don't pay full attention to their patients, make sure this one pays attention.

Update if anyone was wondering. My lab work looks really good my calcium was little high but nothing to be concerned. However I am having some intestinal problems. So I'm going to have to have a colonoscopy.
