I have been noticing white and red patches on both my palms after carrying bags, which disappear within 4 to 5 minutes. This was not happening 4 to 5 years ago. Could this be related to vitamin deficiency or general weakness? My blood reports, haemoglobin levels, and sugar levels are normal (I have been on diabetes medication for the past 10 years). Please advise

This likely indicates vascular flushing or pressure induced capillary reaction. If transient and not itchy/painful, it is usually benign. Nutritional causes are unlikely. However, if persistent, consider dermatology or neurology review.

I am having pain in my hand and leg. I also feel pain in my shoulders, hand, wrist, fingers, knee, toes, and forefeet. What problem am I having? Which doctor should I consult? What other tests are required? My blood report shows vitamin D 19.72, vitamin B12 183, ESR 52, CRP 17.6, and CPK 500.1.

I have had two miscarriages, one at 14 weeks and another at 12 weeks. My doctor advised me to do some tests, including APLAS, ELISA, EIA, IgM, and IgG. I have received my reports, but I am not sure how to read them. Please help me understand whether my reports are negative or positive.
