As for other results, Natrium was on the lower reference end.
I've found a new, good GP, she has a lot of experience, and she teaches at the university here. She spent 45 minutes with me, asking a lot of good questions. She did think about potential B12 deficiency herself. She has seen someone with similar symptoms caused by B12 deficiency, a woman misdiagnosed by neurologists, whose both hands were damaged, so she ordered me to have a B12 test, which I'm gonna do next week. I feel I'm in better hands now.

Not sure if this would apply to your issues but I was able to get my local hospitals imaging dept. to do a mri with "extension & flexion" images of my neck and mine showed "near abutment" of the spinal cord at 3 levels....which I believe is causing my pain especially at night when I sleep.
I was told that typically those images are done on CT scans......found this protocol by a rheumatologist site who treats Fibro patients and he discovered that many of his patients had compression of their spinal cords that caused many of their symptoms.......it is interesting that this imaging is not a typical protocol.....why does it take a patient to have to discover what is possibly causing their issues ??
