I'm new and have something so odd happening to me. Let me try to explain this.
About a yr ago my whole body was covered with pus filled bumps, that became dry patches of skin. Some as large as my fist. I was 80% covered. Head to toe, including hair loss, and complete nail loss. I was lucky enough to NOT have the rash in my vagina and face The soles of my feet were so covered they became one big puss mass and the whole layer of skin came loose, and began to literally rot on my body, I removed basically the soles of my feet with scissors. I saw docs, derms everything including 12 dermatologist in the Arizona Mayo clinic.. no one could diagnose this. I was tested for EVERYTHING HIV everything.. nothing no results. I was even asked to allow them to take photos for future medical journals for bizzar rear and unusual skin conditions. I did not feel ill what so ever just looked like HELL! The rash began in April, and lasted until September. As of now it is 100% gone with whiter skin spotted left behind as the scars from that life changing nightmare. (I would like thoughts on that as well)
BUT I have a remaining condition, never looked at or diagnosed, just shrugged shoulders and move on.. Here it is, During that time I started having clear salty tasting fluid drain from my nose when I'd bend over (Like to tie my shoe from sitting position) It would literally flow out, 1 side usually left. Like 20-30 drops worth leaving a puddle about the size of my fist on the floor. I have also been having ear popping sensations daily. My GP says I have fluid in my ears. The nose gushing thing happens 2-3x a day maybe 3 days a week. As it happens I get that feeling like when you breath in a little bit of water while swimming. Everyone who has seen me, friends family including doctors SAY this is just normal allergies. I am 34 and never had allergies my whole life.
What was more disturbing, is the nose running began during a horrible rash that lasted 6 full months, one never diagnosed or explained. The rash just went away in September 09. Nose running, ear popping did not.
Other then this, the rash- now and then I will get little pin sized bubbles on my hands, they pop with intense force, they actually spray.. again clear fluid/liquid. The bumps itch. I get maybe an outbreak of these once a week, I will have 5 or so bumps in a small area on my hands same finger of what not and they go away.
I also get strong neck aches, constant urge to pop my neck by looking left to right, to pop it.
I know this is a variety of different things, but I swear they are related.
I SHOULD ALSO MENTION- During this time since the rash and runny nose began I experienced heavy mental issues, like depression, anxiety, honestly, I began therapy because I felt like I was loosing my mind. I honestly thought I was going insane.
About me, I'm 34 mother of 5 drug and disease free, have been my whole life, no drugs, drinking. I do smoke 1 pack a day full flavor. I weigh 125lbs I'm 5'1 Active, moderately in shape. I sleep 8hrs a night. I should mention also I have never liked to take even over the counter medications like Tylonal stomach meds, nothing, more a natural kind of person. As I realize cutting off the sensation of pain doesn't cut off the problem, like cutting wires to your engine light didn't fix engine.. However Due to all of the above I began taking Welburtain and Zoloft both the generic form due to mental health issues but not disabilities.
THANK YOU IF YOU READ THIS! I am very concerned as everyone thinks its just me being stupid and paranoid, I had to turn somewhere thank you for reading any and all responses are appreciated.

This might be a stab in the dark, but have you ever had your lungs examined? How long have you smoked? If you're having a feeling of breathing constriction when you bend over, and liquid is dripping from your nose ONLY when you bend forward and put pressure on your upper body, my guess would be that it's somehow related to your smoking. Have a doctor thoroughly examine your lungs. Also - have you always smoked the same brand of cigarettes? There may be some chemical the company started adding to that brand at some time that caused you to have that rash, and to have all of the other symptoms that occurred afterward.
I'm no doctor, but I consider myself very skilled at theory, and figuring things out when nobody else can. I can't explain it - I've always been like that. and I'm usually right 90 percent of the time. Anyway, your life is at stake - check out those lungs, and research those cigarettes. I get a feeling that this is the path you need to take if you want answers.
If you get any answers - please let me know. I'm a 40 year old male living in Georgia. God be with you and I wish you the best. My info is below:
