Yes, had my B-12 checked as well as the more important associated methylmalonic acid. Here are all the tests or things I've had checked so far:
- Four MRIs brain to lumbar, no sign of MS lesions or stenosis
- Spinal tap - no sign of MS, Lymes or autoimmune issues
- Lots of bloodwork - full usual panel, full thyroid, and autoimmune work-up
- NutraEval nutritional deficiency work-up (low on some things, but not critically so. Am now taking an alpha-lipoic acid supplement)
- Hormone workup - other than elevated cortisol levels nothing out of whack
As of today, I took the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. I became hypoglycemic 3 1/2 hours after I drank the surgary stuff and AFTER they had done the four blood draws. I wasn't happy about that.
I'm also going to take a food sensitivity test to see if I have anything in that realm that I have problems with. After that, I think I'm done. The only thing I won't have followed up on is the possibility that a virus is involved, like Epstein-Barr.
