Ugghhh...

I was told (by the same doctor who ultimately found the B12 deficiency) that my symptoms were all things I said I felt, and they couldn't see, and all of the tests were negative so there wasn't much they could do. Actually one of the nerve tests did come back slow... but he decided that might have just been due to my long legs. Then he told me to call back if I started falling down.

I was literally leaving the office after my last visit... when he came out and stopped me at the check out desk, and told the receptionist to order up a B12 level. Thank Goodness! It was my third and final trip to see him, although he followed up with two more blood tests to assure my B12 level was rising.

I should have left this article, too, in case you haven't seen it. It is a great overview~
An Algorithm for the Evaluation of Peripheral Neuropathy

Keep on searching! Let us know, of course, if you have the gluten sensitivity testing done. I have a write up on Diagnositics in The Gluten File, too.
