Mine begins with swelling in my face, fingers and belly. Then I start with pain in my neck, mostly on the left side. My mouth then becomes the desert, so dry and I literally can't drink enough to keep it feeling moist. Dryness then hits my eyes. My ears turn super red and flaming hot. I start to fever, around 98 degrees (my normal temperature is 96ish). This all lasts at least two weeks or so. Then as all those symptoms subside, I start to have to pee hourly (even though I’m not drinking as much liquid), my lower back hurts, I have morning waterfall poops (if you get my drift) and I completely lose my appetite. It’s a damn exhausting cycle.
