Multitude of symptoms, I am desperate

Hello everyone.Yep, another post where someone lists out a million symptoms... but I am desperate for help. I'm male, 40, and I've been suffering with this for 2 or 3 months now. Let me start at the "bottom" and work my way upwards...

- Diarrhea several times per day. Severe (and terrible smelling!) flatulence which comes and goes.

- Pain under left rib

- Pain in back of neck, feels muscular, like your legs do after a workout - heavy, dull ache

- Sharp pain in left ear, I can "feel" it more when I swallow

- Pain in left jaw - hard to locate exactly, but in the jaw joint, upper and lower teeth, and it's tender under my left jaw bone when I press on it

- Feeling of a "lump" on the left side of my throat when I swallow. Located sort of one inch to the left and one inch above my Adam's Apple. Can't feel a lump though.

- Really bad feeling of pressure in my face, like from ears over eyes. Vice like.

- Severe frontal headaches

- Dry eyes (I have been using hycosan eye drops in the day and some prescription "gel" at night but it's not touching the sides. Some mornings I wake up in agony)

- Bad light sensitivity

- Acne (which I think is rosacea and may be unrelated but let's chuck it into the mix)

- Terrible brain fog - my concentration is shot, I forget words, I just can't think

- Sweating

- FATIGUE. Oh the fatigue. It is relentless, I struggle desperately to stay awake and yawn all the time, constantly. If left alone at the weekend I can easily do 12 hour stretches, one night after the other. I never, ever feel refreshed after sleep.

Bit of history - about 10 years ago I had acute pancreatitis and had my gall bladder removed by keyhole.

I get 7-8 hours sleep per night, I'm not (that) stressed and I really don't think this is a mental health issue. Little bit overweight but nothing drastic. Don't drink. Eat pretty well. Ex-smoker, now vaper.

If anyone could shed any light or make any suggestions, I would be eternally grateful. Thank you all and stay healthy.

    Have you ever had your thyroid checked? And not just TSH. Thyroid antibodies as well as T3 and T4?
