They might be able to determine why that titer is high and speckled! Wouldn't you want to know?

Lupus varies greatly from person to person. Don't be afraid of something you don't know you have! I just thought it would be useful to see another type of specialist for an evaluation. Neuros only do so much.

The liver converts cyanocobalamin B12 into methylcobalamin B12 so that the body can use it. So it's best to use the methyl, if you can. I like the Jarrow Formula brand. I had a severe B12 deficiency years ago and take the 5 mg. daily (I take it twice a day).

650 mg of magnesium is fairly high, especially if you have MG. Since you're a vegan, it should be easy to get that from foods.

Stomach issues are not always present with celiac. In fact, you can have no obvious symptoms and still have it, which is not at all useful! Most people do, though. Gluten sensitivity is just as damaging and harder to figure out. An internist can test for the antibodies.

Some diseases mimic others, so it can take a while to figure out what's going on. I personally like having a second set of eyes and ears (and brain) on something.
