While it's good to find a doctor to work with you and have faith in what you are telling them I like to go the natural route first.
Lack of B vitamins can cause all those things you have except the petechiae or scurvy. That's a lack of vitamin C. lacking Vit C can also cause bruising, aching joints, swollen or painful joints, fatigue. B6 causes dermatitis, fatigue etc.
Lack of Niacin (B3)- pellagra, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal disturbance insomnia etc.
Lack of riboflavin -skin rash digestive disturbances, emotional changes etc
Lack of B12 - pernicious anemia that can cause paleness, weakness and fatigue ,poor appetite etc
lac of Thiamin (B1) -fatigue ,insomnia, aches & pains, weakness etc
Laco of Folic Aicd - pernicious anemia (large cell type) depression , and it mimics the symptons of B12 deficeincy.
I'm not saying that this is the answer of your problems. I don't have insurance so I try to figure things out first before I go to the doctor. A simple blood and urine test can see if you are defecient. Some people can not utilize vitamins especially B vit's. Processed foods, sugar foods, meds, caffine destroy the vitamins. Some people need B shots.
Lot's and lot's of info out there to read about it, I just read that B12 defeciency mimics Lymes disease and MS.
