OP: I don't know if they are connected and HOPE someone here will respond to your question. Looking at last 2 yrs of labs doc doesn't even do this test.

I deal with neuropathy from hip replacement surgery 10 yrs ago and knee infection 4 yrs ago and DO NOT get flu or colds...BUT I do keep my immune system strong. Do you work on this for you.

I believe yrs of Grape Seed Extract have done wonders, and also Vit C, D and Zinc...

I've talked a lot about Inosine which I take daily for the burn/tingle. But I have had to learn to live with the damage from the replacement.....sad but the truth.

Gabapentin I would not take, work to stay away from the pharma drugs, so many cause more damage.
