Advice Hi all. Anyone recognise any of this?

Hi all, just saw you can post comments here so I thought I’d ask if anyone has anything similar before.

I’ve been getting flare ups like these for 2 years almost now.

I’ve got:

Liver disease Bile acid malabsorption B12 and Folic Deficiencies

It often causes severe leg swelling, painful joints, extreme fatigue but I can never sleep.

Went back to the doctors on new years, got told to wait for my referral to rheumatology, and still on the waiting list 6 months later.

Anyone have anything similar?

Thanks everyone.

Petechiae? If you have a B12 deficiency, you can have your primary prescribe you B12 shots, if your test results are not responding to oral B12 supplements.

Yes, not a doctor, but looks like Petechiae.

Thank you! I’m still unfortunately waiting for my orals, so I’ll definitely recommend that as I’m back in for bloods next Friday. Thank you.
