Symptoms of B12 deficiency include tremors, extreme fatigue, sciatic nerve pain, tachycardia, depression. A B12 deficiency has been noted to cause high blood pressure in some patients however more commonly causes low blood pressure.
The most common nutritional deficiencies in people with celiac disease include essential fatty acids, iron, vitamin D, vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, vitamin B12, and folic acid. Magnesium deficiency causes tremors, high blood pressure, fatigue, depression, mimics fibromyalgia. Interesting to note is magnesium deficiency is associated with secondary Raynauds. Vitamin D deficiency symptoms include bone and muscle pain, depression, fatigue, high blood pressure, and also mimic fibromyalgia.
A highly significant association exists between celiac disease and autoimmune thyroiditis (Graves' disease and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis). Grave's disease is autoimmune hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is autoimmune hypothyroidism. Tremors, fatigue, fast heart rate are some of the symptoms of Grave's disease. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis does swing between hyper and hypo symptoms and also mimics fibromyalgia.

Magnesium deficiency
Erythromelalgia
A number of conditions may cause the appearance of livedo reticularis:

Infections (syphilis, tuberculosis, lyme disease)
Acute Renal Failure
Arteriosclerosis
Homocystinuria
Intra-arterial injection
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
thanks for your comments and i will certainly be looking into these condtions.
Sounds like Raynauds, the toes going black tho, sounds like Buerger's Disease (a vascular disease) caused by smoking. I was diagnosed with it about a month ago, after endless trips to er for pain, but it has taken them this long to diagnos, and still have 1 more test the angiogram. Should have been done uin the beginning, now th;ey will be amputating my middle finger.
