I just struggle with bouts of constipation and bloating. Severe abdominal pain, nausea, and heartburn.
I also have interstitial cystitis and that flares with these other symptoms as well.
A few other symptoms are chest pain, headaches, my hair thins/falls out. I also get really dizzy and lightheaded. Sometimes the dizziness is pretty severe. I’ll be getting along fine and then the room flips and I’ll be lying on the floor. I am not passing out though.
My tongue will swell and get sores.
It seems that many body systems are affected.
But the symptoms I listed previously are the most prominent and more constant than some of the others. It just depends on how bad the flare is. In November and December the joint pain was so severe and I was so short of breath that I had trouble walking or just doing daily activities.
