9. Muscular pain

There is nothing wrong with feeling a little bit stiff the day after a challenging workout. However, if you feel muscle aches and joint pain, but you didn’t do anything different than usual, it might be a sign of chronic inflammation.

This can manifest as pain that lingers for a few days or even weeks, in some severe cases, discomfort, and achy joints. If you are over the age of 60, the cause of the problem might be rheumatoid arthritis, which is a disease in which your joints are being attacked by your immune cells.

If you suspect that you might have this health condition, you can go to your doctor.  By performing blood tests and other specific types of analysis, they will be able to identify certain markers of inflammation, including C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).

  1. Most of these symptoms seem to be involved with what I have, Porphyria (also called “Vampire’s Disease”. It is extremely difficult to diagnose and somewhat rare. It also, can be attributed to Hepatitus C, which causes liver damage. This makes it so that your liver is not able to process certain toxins from your body and they try to escape through the skin in the form of a rash. I was treated for the Hep C (which fortunately for me minimal damage was caused, due to the fact I had my Hep A and B shots prior to diagnosis). I manage the disease mostly by my diet and what other toxins go into my body. I am unable to process most pharmaceuticals, so usually use medical marijuana for pain relief when I am able. Also, minimal use of regular old aspirin. I have been dealing with this since diagnosis in 2000.
