Tired, Arm Itchy, Rash. Heavy And Burning Legs. Due To Age?
Hello Doctor, Well, this is how I ve been feeling off/on for the past month or so... Extremely tired all the time, my arms started itching and has a rash on both now. Not red to look at.. Just looks like I have goosebumps. My legs feel heavy at times and sometimes feel like their burning. I also sometimes feel like I m going to pass out. Not sure if my age has any significance? But, I am a 43 yrs young. Thank You, Natalie
