      Joseph, can you get to a pharmacy to ask about eye and nasal drops? You should be able to get over-the-counter products that don't cost too much. That will at least help with the dry eyes and nose. As far as the joint pains are concerned, if only your Mum can take you for blood tests at a private clinic, is there some kind of free public clinic you could attend on your own? It really does sound as if you need to see a doctor, even if it means hanging around for hours in a crowded waiting room. You're old enough now to start taking responsibility for your own health.

      As for the cigarettes and grass in high-school, I wouldn't worry too much about that. It wouldn't have caused your present symptoms and this isn't Divine punishment either. On the other hand, smoking anything at all isn't a good idea if you have a dry mouth, as it will only make things worse.

      Unfortunately, all anyone on this site can give you is general advice, not concrete help. You need to see a doctor to get that.

      That's right - you've provided the answer yourself. Go and see a doctor about the joint pains. That's the only advice I can give you, as you may well need prescription medications. Even if you don't have much money, I'm sure there'll be a free or low-cost public clinic somewhere near you. Whatever you do, don't try to self-medicate by ordering medications over the internet. There's no way of knowing what's in them - at best you'd just be wasting your money, at worst you could poison yourself.
