View allI'm experiencing sores in my mouth and pain in my lower limbs. Last year, I had sores in my mouth which were followed by sores on my genital area and similar pain in my lower limbs. Could this be Behet's disease, or might it be something else? I'm really concerned and would appreciate your guidance.
It is possible that you are experiencing symptoms of Behcet's disease, a rare autoimmune condition that can cause mouth sores, genital sores, and inflammation in the blood vessels. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can manage the symptoms with medications like colchicine for mouth sores and pain relief for lower limb pain.

I'm a bit concerned about my health. Recently, I noticed my folic acid levels are over 20, and I used to have high HDL but it's under control now. However, I'm experiencing some numbness in my joints. Could there be a connection between these things? Should I be worried?
Large amounts of folic acid can mask the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency . There are indications that high serum folate levels might not only mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but could also exacerbate the anemia and worsen the cognitive symptoms and neurological symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of B12 can cause numbness and tingling sensation, paresthesia(neuropathies). If B12 levels are normal then you need to orthopedician to look for bone disorders.
