At least I have strong symptoms today so I can hopefully describe them accurately! Caffeine seems to be a definite trigger as is alcohol for the face burning. Not good for a coffee addict who works in a wine company

A repeat of the B12/B6 and a vit D (if I am Vit D deficient then god help most couch potatoes). Calcuim, ESR, renal, liver, and a bone profile. A different doctor again though so that doesnt help. He suggested I have rosacea. Which doesn't explain the exhaustion and legs of lead, but its like talking to a brick wall sometimes when trying to explain how only running 3-4 times a week isnt normal for me and that yes of course all the usual markers of health will be good for me because I'm an athlete ffs. sigh
