Results from January - MRI of brain shows signs of small vessel disease normal for my age (really depressing that! )

CSF; albumin level 229 (0-380)
CSF: glucose level 3.1 (1.7 -3.9)
CSF: protein level 362 (0-700)

Cerebrospinal fluid level IgG 34 (5-64)
CSF appearance Visible
CSF oligoclonal band screen - (blank space)?

My tap results were partially contaminated by trauma so not sure if this explains the blanks?

Serum cryoglobulin level - normal
EDTA blood -Treponema pallium - Negative
IgG level (blank space)?
Venous blood Borrelia burgdorferi IgG negative

Serum ACE level 37 (8-52)
Plasma glucose level 4.9 (3.7 -5.6)

The neurologist told me a few weeks ago that something in these had flagged up as probably autoimmune or infection but I can't see what this could be from these results. Any ideas anyone?

Presently my white blood cells and lymphocytes are a bit high and so are my liver enzymes but the anaesthetist said this is probably because of the Prednsilone and not a worry. I don't have the results of the skin biopsy from my calves unfortunately but told these were normal. It's a mixed blessing being normal as I feel as though I'm in the middle of the x-files - the burning, wet cold nerve pain in my legs 24/7 now makes me feel so scared and alone. I wanted to ask the anaesthetist to switch it off. My face keeps going numb and tingly and my GP says this is classic TMJ but when I look it up I see it says this is rare with TMJ and could be a sign of underlying disease such as MS.
