I’ve had similar problems for many years, especially the neurological ones. Went to many doctors, finally saw a rheumatologist who took one look at all my symptoms and diagnosed Sjogren’s Disease.
Hard to diagnose, but I’d suggest you find a good rheumatologist.
You mentioned eye, GI problems and neuropathy, all of my early symptoms,
Good luck - took me several years to find the doctor who put things together, but it was worth pursuing.

Hello. It's interesting that you mentioned seeing a rheumatologist. I am currently seeing one. Bloodwork was done and everything is coming back normal. A lot of my symptoms have lessened unless I've gotten used to it. The main issue I been experiencing for the past three months is my right hand is in constant pain and swollen. Especially in the morning when I wake up my right hand is almost numb, tingling and burning sensation and swollen. Throughout the day the majority of my symptoms aren't so noticeable except the soreness feeling. The rheumatologist wants to see me back in six months. Honestly I'm at a loss. I've seen so many doctors and have gone for so many test and have gotten blood drawn numerous times and everything is normal.
