jaw pain, locking cracking popping jaw
ear ache/pain
bruxism which leaves me with sensitive teeth/tooth pain now and again
episodes of stopping breathing as im going off to sleep
dizziness
blurry vision
poor memory (short term) and brain fog
moderate to severe stomach pain just under my left rib cage
GERD (acid reflux)
Muscle spasms - some not so painfull, some excruciating like the ones im getting in my back right now
diarrhea or soft foul smelling stools associated with the stomache pain (a deep knawing aching/sharp pain under my left rib cage)
visual disturbances (flashing lights/blind spots) probably associated with the migraines
blepharitis, styes, boils and other minor infections
breathlessness and chest pain
Mild pain in my arms, hands and finger tips
Neck and shoulder pain

As for do i take painkillers for it, some of it, hell yes!

Other stuff i just ignore or complain to my dr about but they just keep saying its anxiety so it must be.

Not that relaxing helps at all and ive no idea what the hell im stressed out over these days other than feeling so damned bad everyday.
