Brief Answer:
Not a single disease causing all your symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Let me assure you that, all your symptoms are not caused by any one of the diseases, listed by you.
As you don't have jaundice, forget about Gilbert's syndrome and Hepatitis C.
Adrenal gland disease alone may cause skin striae, but not the other symptoms.
Hypothyroidism can be present, and detected by doing the tests i mentioned.
Lymes disease may also be present, if you've a pet at home, or in constant touch with animals, around your home.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
Wish you well.
