Leukaemia help

Hi I'm looking for advice please

ive been suffering with extreme tiredness, confusion/forgetfulness, lightheadedness & unintentional weight loss for nearly a year.. over the last 2 weeks I've had a lot of bruising and petechia on my thighs, I'm in severe agony with both legs, knees, ankles and feet aches, shocking pains, skin sore to touch, burning sometimes hot to touch almost like sunburn but feet constantly freezing.. (could be related to my spinal issue though?) so DR has done blood tests.. receptionist has just called saying blood tests seem fine but my folate levels are low so doctor will ring me this week but I can't help worrying.. has any one experienced this please? Is folate related to leukaemia ?

    I'm sorry about the symptoms you've been experiencing. It sounds like you've had a lot to contend with but I'm glad you've consulted your doctor about this.

    You can find out more about folate just here but if you'd like to have a quick chat with our nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope the doctor is able to put your mind at ease when your speak with them.

    Kind regards,
