Low copper occurs in MS too. Copper is used by the body to keep the discs healthy, so is needed to keep your spine mobile and in good working order.

High cells in CSF is found in MS.
Other conditions with elevated white cells in CSF might be:

high MCV suggests you have low B12 --it may not be real low yet, but it is low enough to supplement and this value elevated may precede much lower numbers. Best to catch it now.

I think you should next get MRI of the brain and upper spine if you have not already.

Some people just have low acid in the stomach... usually this happens to aging people. It is called achlorhyria. Low acid results in poor absorption of B12, folate, iron, zinc, magnesium, calicum, and some trace metals with ++ cations.
