Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

It looks like you have multi vitamin deficiency especially B12 and folic acid.

Vitamin deficiency causes dry mouth, dry eyes, fatigue, short term memory loss, feeling of shakiness, hands and feet swelling, brittle hair, dry skin, loss of appetite, bruise easily,hair loss, confusion .

I will advise you to start taking multivitamin tablets. Also do get hormones prolactin, FSH, LH estrogen done to rule out hormonal imbalance.

My vitamin levels were checked and all are good. Had my Obgyn do the hormone tests and they came out good also. Even checked for blood disorders as I have a thing for bleeding also easily bruising. But that was all ruled out. And I take a multivitamin tablet everyday already. Have been for years :) any other suggestions? And thank you

I was planning on going and getting copies of all my tests as they didnt give me any at my appointments, just told me everything was in the normal range. I had three polyps on my cervical canal and they were biopsied and came out normal. Normal pap. All blood work came out great. so i'm at a loss. As soon as i get copies i will try and get them loaded on to here. Thank you
