Brief Answer:
Need more information.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You set of symptoms are falling into many possibilities. It would be good if you can narrate each symptom in chronological order from the first symptom that appeared. Are you sexually active?
Do you have any other medical problems like Thyroid issues, Depression?
Do you stay alone or have family and kids?
Did you do a home pregnancy test if you are sexually active?

While taking the blood let a urinalysis be done as well.

Waiting for your reply.

Brief Answer:
Avoid low mood state

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

With the description given I have following possibilities to think of
1) If you have fever and body pains along with the above symptoms then we should consider urinary tract infection or related adnexal swelling
2) Trigger of depression - You might wonder how is this related to ammonia smell in the urine. It could be the medicines or a dis tractor for a low mood state. A state of low mood can cause any kind of symptom in a person. Tiredness, headache, Pain, unnatural senses etc.

Revision of medication is advised. At the same time try to find out the trigger for the low mood, try to elate the senses. Find a good gathering where you can spend sometime and forget the pain and other displeasures in life for few hours in a day. A lot of things can get actually work for you. Service, praying, meditation, yoga, cook special for your grown up, simple shopping, interact with neighbors. You can choose only one that interest.

Let me know about the blood result as well.
