It’s been 10 long, arduous years of relentless agony. The list is endless - jaw pain, constant neck pain 24/7, GERD, constant mucus in my throat, lump in my throat, back pain, pelvic floor issues, back pain and shoulder pain. No matter what I try, nothing seems to get rid of these symptoms. 

I have tried antidepressants, meditation, psychedelics, weed, CBD and every other suggestion I could find.  I lift weights 5 days a week, run 3-4 days a week and am physically muscular and in shape but none of that matters because I’m in constant pain. 

I’m a decent looking guy and I turn girls down because I just feel miserable. The neck pain and mucus (from GERD I assume) are probably the worst symptoms. The mucus can make it difficult to talk to girls and people in general because I’m constantly swalllowing and feel uncomfortable. They don’t seem to notice because I mask it well but it sucks. I have tried PPI’s, eating clean and nasal sprays yet nothing gets rid of the mucus/lump in throat.

I feel like I’m wasting my life. It’s like I am destined to be in pain for the rest of my life. I graduated university with amazing grades and have a great job lined up but feel miserable.

I don’t know what to do. Feel utterly hopeless.
