Started out as ear pain in cartilage of ear with pressure. Either war. Also turns bright red. Then started having pain in back and right foot, then both with pressure. Next bowel issues started (chronic diahrea), all day, every day. Several doctors told me it was ALL in my head. One even used the crazy sign. Had every test imaginable, with only finding out that I have systemic inflammation. Don't know what is causing it. Blood work, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterols, all normal. Never took medication, until 2 years ago when this all started. Now I am on an anti-inflammatory, and it helps, but not a cure. Just a bandaid. Can now sleep through the night, with little disturbance. Use soft pillow. NO memory foam or firm pillow. Diahrea is also being caused by pressure on the body. Soft mattress helps. Started taking medication for migraines, although I don't have them. Something to do with affect on blood vessels. Totally changed my bowel issues. Foot pain is now more periodic since starting anti-inflammatory and back pain is virtually gone. Now experiencing severe wrist pain that won't go away. Hope this helps somebody.
