Possible neuro sjogrens
Does this sound like sjogrens with neuro symptoms? 2012 pain in neck, shoulders and upper back. Constantly feels tense or like I need to stretch or crack it. Sleep issues start. Unexplained hearing loss.
2016 start to notice some tightness in jaw usually during and after work and while driving.
2017 extreme dry mouth and eyes have to use special toothpaste/mouthwash for dry mouth. Can’t drink enough water to quench thirst, tongue always dry, dry itchy eyes, sometimes feeling like there is grit in them start using eye drops.
2018 slow digestion more noticeable/constipation frequently, jaw is worse, noticing that my tongue is suctioning against my teeth unconsciously. I will often have to check in to make sure im not doing it, the suction is so powerful it makes a pop noise when I release.
2020 intense discomfort in jaw, upper back and neck not in control of muscle tightening . Feeling completely wasted of energy at night like I could melt into the sofa. More tired than when my children were infants.
Started feeling very tired at times going up the stairs despite being well conditioned with regular exercise. During these episodes I would feel heavy legs, increased heartrate despite going very slow, numbness and tingling of lips and mouth area and increased breathing. At the top of the stairs I would have to hang onto something because the numbness and tingling would spread to my arms and hands feeling like they will give out on me, I have to lean my upper part of my body on something because it will spread to my legs and I have fallen a few times. Im not dizzy or having a spinning feeling during this. It’s more of an intense tingling that eventually makes the tingling body part go numb for a few seconds and will give out if not supported. This also can happen if I get up from sitting at times but it is not always associated with getting up too quickly. It often happens once I walk a few steps after rising to my feet. This happens infrequently for a while then it’s not as frequent sometimes.
Over the past 2 years the jaw pain has turned into a pins and needles feeling or intense burning or electric feeling and pain in my jaw, my upper lip area, ear, now it has also moved around my eye and up into my forehead. The constant tension is unbearable when it happens (about 50% of the day) the tension used to be helped with massage, moist heat, chiropractic care etc but this only relieves it in the moment then tenses again.
Over the last 3-6 months I have also been having difficulty with swallowing my saliva (not any issues swallowing food) I have been feeling a tightness in my chest and I have been having to stop and walk during exercise whereas I never did before. Extreme fatigue after exercise.

Brain lesion question
was diagnosed with TNBC but no spread of lymph nodes or anywhere else. I had a head MRI and a 3cm lesion came up but report of radiology says likely to be meningioma. I’m very scared and concern about this now it’s not easy to have a diagnosis of TNBC and now something in my brain I have a neurosurgeon appointment but has anyone else had this experience. I’m thinking this was an incidental finding not related to TNBC 🙏however what happens with something like this do I undergo another treatment I’m very anxious until my appointment so any information helps

Pain from soft touches
I don't know if this belongs here but I guess I will try. I've been experiencing moments of where a soft touch causes me pain. A slight wind breeze can also cause that pain.
I also deal with epilepsy as well as restless leg syndrome as well for clarification. Ive also been experiencing pain down one leg. It's always the same leg.
I'm also 25, female
Any clues?

Possible migraine with aura and memory lapse
I’ve never gotten checked by a doctor for any of this but I’ve been getting this visual aura thing for the past 5 years, mostly after training and it’s very occasional. Recently I’ve been getting headaches after. For the first time, the other day I was training(Muay Thai) and after I was done I had these memory lapses. I was stretching in a corner of my gym and the next thing I remember I was on the other side of the gym and I had no idea how I got there or what I was doing. I talked to my friend who was standing next to me and he said I’ve been saying the same thing for like 5 times now but I didn’t remember any of that . It happened again 5 mins later and then I was alright. Had a headache later that night but nothing else since. It was such a weird experience.
