Question : Over the past month I have been experiencing severe bruising on my legs from the slightest bump. over the last 3 months, I have developed severe heat intolerance and sweat profusely all over whether engaged in activity or not. My hands and fingers feel strange, not numb, but heavy and weak at the same time. I've had nerve conduction tests done before and came back normal.
