Hi all,
I have suffered many years now with what I 100% believe to be IC which I will be seeing my doctor about now I know about the condition and have done research, However for years now I have always had problems with my eyes getting sore and very sensitive and I noticed I get eye infections frequently but the only thing is when I go outdoors my eyes do water a little at the outer corners so I'm not sure if I have Sjorgrens because of that factor, I do have hay fever as well though, But the worst symptom I have had for about 3 or 4 years now (perhaps longer) is really bad stinging pain in the left side of my neck under my jaw and chin and around my left ear, it is sited where my salivary glands are and it hurts just to brush my hand across the area and I do get a dry mouth a lot and I have noticed me talking a little funny because of the pain though nobody else notices this. I also suffer from a lot of coughing because of phlegm build-up in my throat as I have sinus problems and also shortness of breath sometimes but I'm not sure if this is due to me panicking myself as I have terrible anxiety. Because of my dry throat I have tooth decay and I get bleeding gums when I brush my teeth and when I wake up in the morning my mouth is dry so my gums have a bit of blood on them. My doctor has examined my throat where the pain is and he has booked me in for a scan at the hospital, he believes me to have a stone in my glands but after doing some research I found Sjorgrens and it fits all of my symptoms except for my eyes getting a little wet when going outdoors, tears don't stream down my face though and when I am indoors my eyes do feel very dry and I have to blink a lot as they feel fuzzy, I get very tired as well and sometimes I feel too tired to get out of bed or I go to bed early. Also about 6 months ago I had a small cyst under my tongue and it popped and it had foul liquid in it, I do suffer mouth sores and tingling gums often though. I can't understand as I look after my teeth and brush them often, I don't have a dentist and there is no chance of me getting one either. I think I've added all of my concerns and I would be really happy if some of you could shed a little light on my symptoms as I am terrified and extremely worried.
Thank you :-)
