I was at least 40; I remember periods of a week or two when I was just plain faitgued with no temperature and a headache; it would go away and come back a few times a year; then in '08 and early '09 (when I was 53) a bout of fatigue, something I now call a flare, came and stayed for a while; only then did I get more sensitive bloodwork

I was constantly getting bronchitis and couldn't wear contacts because my eyes were too dry per eye doctors statement.   I remember once going to the dentist as a child and having 27 cavaties.

I don't really know. I've had the GI issues since 11 years old but I can remember being in school and having trouble with dry eyes/dry mouth, which I blamed on the antidepressants I was on for chronic pain at the time.

That would have been around 16/17. Around the same time I had about every tooth in my mouth filled.
