low level lead poisoning?



I know I've asked this question before, but I'd still like some opinions from older techs who have inhaled solder fumes over their lifetime as I have. I may be wrong and it's just old age (I've never been 60 before... what's normal?) but my symptoms seem to point to overall nerve damage. 1. I've almost lost the ability to write as it is now difficult to control my fingers. 2. I got cataracts at 56 (one lens replaced). 3. My muscles and joints (knees and arms mostly) ache all the time now although I have not injured myself as far as I know. 4. I have developed tinnitis in both ears and no low frequency response in my right ear. 5. I have no "knee jerk" response to the doctors "hammer" on knees or arms. I was in perfect health when I was younger. All of these symptoms have developed over the last 10 to 15 years. Golden years, my foot.
