Brief Answer:
Sjogren's syndrome suspected.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have seen your attached pictures and I think this is not related to carbon monocide poisoning.
I think you are suffering from Sjorgen syndrome. In Sjogren's syndrome, the mucous membranes and moisture-secreting glands of your eyes and mouth are usually affected first — resulting in decreased tears and saliva.
It often appears around 40s.
It is autoimmune syndrome often accompanying rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
Your doctor may do you blood work and Sjorgen antibodies to role it out.
Eye drops with cyclosporine can help also
pilocsrpine can increase saliva production.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I thank you for your opinion. But there are still some unexplained things l, I will follow up with my doctor for blood work. Something is bothering my eyes, sometimes even burning, I contribute this along with my other symptoms to an allergic reaction to something, what that something is, is the obvious question. Soso causing me to have rapid heartbeat, sneezing, stuffy nose and I feel vibrations coming from the ground and taste a metallic, to salty taste so I know that there is something in my environment that is causing these problems and I would like someone who can think outside the box to figure this out
