I've been dealing with burning sensations in my soles for about 4 to 5 years, and I often feel really exhausted. I'm worried because I've also noticed other things like a layer on my tongue when I wake up, losing hair, difficulty focusing, occasional dizziness, and memory issues. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I might do about it?
