I cannot rememer all my tests, but the ones I do remember I will list:

Basic blood work - normal
Auto-immune panel - negative
Liver panel - elevated liver enzymes (probably due to fatty liver)
2 hours glucose tolerance test - indicate insulin resistance
thyroid - normal BUT thyroid uptake scan show hypothyroidism
B12 - 209 - normal according to the doctors
Hepatitis - negative
HIV - negative
Brucelloses - negative
Epstein barr virus - previous infection noted but not active
Cytomegella virus - previous infection noted but not active
CT scan of brain - normal
MRI of brain - normal
MRI of spine - show some disk problems, but according to neuro everyone gets this with ageing
Nerve conduction study of hands and feet - normal
CT scan of abdomen and pelvis - normal
porphyria - negative
colonoscopy x 2 - normal
gastroscopy - chronic gastritis due to H Pylori infection

this is all I can remember for now. I know no tests was done for small fibre neuropathy. I've decided to stop my Lyrica as its making the burning worse.
The B12 is NOT normal. The old criteria for B12 is very out dated.

You need to start supplementing NOW ...with a product like I gave you above.
In Japan they treat anything under 500.

Low B12 leads to many neuro symptoms.

If you scan our vitamin forum there are many B12 pages as well.
