I have been suffering from an annoying concoction of symptoms for about 7 years now and they are becoming quite life-destroying. To me it feels like an allergic flare up of sorts, but can't quite put my finger on what is triggering them. I'm fairly certain they are all connected because they wax and wane concurrently.
My symptoms consist of:
- A very uncomfortable dry/tight sensation in the face, hard to describe, but it's akin to the feeling of having a layer of glue applied to the skin. Honestly makes me want to rip off my face when it's at it's worst.
- A sensation in the neck which is also hard to describe, but if you have ever had Restless leg syndrome, it kinda feels like that but in the neck.
- Dry eyes/throat (not sure if percieved dryness or real)
- Tremors in the face and neck (gives me massive social anxiety)
- Non Stop body-wide twitching
- General itchiness
I also have mildly clubbed nails which have been ruled as idiopathic after lung + heart + blood tests. Not sure if this is connected.
I've had allergy tests (igG, igE) which didn't show anything significant aside from a mild reaction to egg white, medium reaction to wheat, and high reaction to pollen. However, even when avoiding these things, my symptoms still occur.
I've had thyroid tests, MRI, general blood tests, hormone tests, vitamin + mineral tests. All normal, except Low B12, which i will be addressing very soon.
If anyone has any insights, or any idea on what may be causing all of this i would be extremely grateful. Thanks a bunch.
Edit: My diet is pretty varied. I eat a lot of meat, potatoes, rice, fruit, vegetables, bread +pasta + dairy occasionally (once or twice a week). Don't eat much sweets + chocolate + crisps anymore. However, my whole life up to a year ago i would eat basically anything and everything.
As for my temps, i don't have a thermometer rn, but i think my last reading was around 37.5c.
