What Causes Severe Fatigue Along With Rashes On The Hands And Legs?

I have had pretty severe fatigue that has fluctuated severity over 8 years. I have times where I barely have energy to walk and lift my arms and could sleep 16 hours a night and still feel tired for months at a time. Then i will suddenly feel a bit better for a full 6-9 month period and then suddenly slip back into the severe fatigue. I get skin rashes mostly on my hands and legs. I have had some pretty bad short and long term memory loss. I black out about every other time I stand up. My arms feel like they have fallen asleep and have pins and needles multiple times a day. I used to get very tan when I was outdoors but now I seem very pale and get dry skin rashes. My menstrual cycle is very irregular, sometimes 6 months apart. I have had my hormones tested and I am very low in progesterone. I have used progesterone creams but they did not help much and only seemed like they made me gain weight but not relieve any symptoms. I try to exercise regularly (3-5 times a week in hopes that I will gain some energy) and eat mostly very healthy.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

As per my clinical experience, the current presentation suggests possible immune-mediated inflammatory response and the same should be evaluated with the specific chromosome analysis or so forth with hematologist expert.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
General Surgeon
