Hi, 

I've been feeling quite sick for just over a year now, I have low iron levels, low b12 and low foliate, my hair is falling out, I'm extremely tired all the time and get so dizzy I have to hold on to something or I'll fall over. I kind of put it down to my low vitamin levels which I'm only being treated for the iron as I was supposed to get another blood test done 2months after the first and never, as I had my grandmother at home on palliative care plus two children and I'm always so busy, was always a job for next week, roll on a year later over the past 3 weeks I've started coming out in huge bruises one covered the length of the back of my thigh, I didn't even know it was there until my sister said "my god how on earth did you do that" and I had no idea. But still as I do, I just got on with it, then last week another two bruises appear on the same leg, not as big but still no idea how they got there, then today the same thing but this time another huge bruise down my thigh. Finally I've spoken to the doctors he's booked me in for urgent blood tests tomorrow, I'm also getting bad pain in my joints, mostly my left leg where the bruises appear, but oain is in my knee, my hands and my hip. I know people on here aren't medically trained but wondered If anyone has experienced similar and had a diagnosis? 

I've seen a link that says b12 can sometimes mimic leukaemia and this is what I'm hoping is happening to Me, and considering I had low b12 last time I was checked seems like a high possibility that maybe it's just gotten worse and causing further symptoms. 

Sorry if I sound silly, just looking to ease my mind I guess, either way I shall find out soon enough and will definitely update, incase anyone else is experiencing similar. 

Kind regards
