Hi Ryann
I have also had problems with gritty eyes and know how unpleasant it feels. Ask your GP to refer you to the eye clinic at your hospital and they should be able to sort you out with eye drops and lubricants. It sounds like you have dry eyes, which happens when something goes wrong with the tear film that covers your eyes.
Sorry I can't help with your other aches and pains but hopefully someone will be along soon with some advice.
Hope you get it sorted soon.
