Please can someone help me?

[Smailand]

I’m 45. I’ve been having various muscle pains for a couple of years, accompanied by dry eyes, dry hair, anxiety, crunchy joints, waking up at night, heavy periods. GP said not perimenopause because I’m still regular, referred me to neurology who found nothing.

Now a new symptom. My hands feel so dry and tight and burning. My forearms and lower legs burn too, and to a certain extent my feet and face too.

It’s so severe I can’t sleep. When I do sleep I have nightmares about being burned. I’ve woken up shaking and can’t stop because I’m so scared. Please help 😭

I’ve had similar issues, dry bloodshot and crusty eyes and nose, painful crunchy joints, dry hair and some hair loss, couldn’t sleep, general poor circulation. I ended up diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases, primary Rheumatoid arthritis and secondary Sjögren’s syndrome. Biologics and prednisone has helped, but no cure unfortunately.

anyway, good luck, I hope you start feeling better soon.
