A blood test may be performed to measure red and white blood cell counts and antibody levels but is of no proven value and to rule out a true allergy.
My testing was done this way, I did some blood allergy testing because I asked for it to be done.
So don't worry about any needles, you don't have to do the blood work.
Also early in MCS you scent of smell is heighten, I was able to smell all kinds of things and others couldn't (my family though I was going crazy). I still go crazy over smelling things and one one else can smell it.
I don't know if this is the same as what your talking about but I have a feeling like I'm floating or that the bed is floating a lot when I lay down and close my eyes.
~~~~LOL, to show you how well I can smell things. My son put a empty bottle of mouth wash, no cap on the bottle (Tom's of Main Cinnamint) in a zip lock bag, sealed it and brought it into the office just now, and I could smell it before he even got all the way over to me.

WOW! If only I could smell like that. I generally tend to have a diminished sense of smell. The feeling of the bed moving was literally what it feels like when you are in bed and someone heavy gets in next to you- you know how the mattress moves. Anyway, that seems to have gone. The B12 methyl gave me a huge high the 1st day I took it. Then I crashed really hard. The next day (Fri) a huge high again and crashed at around 4pm (although I hadn't taken it again). My temperature Friday night was up to 99.5.Saturday I took it and felt really tired. Then yesterday I was in rehearsal and I was feeling fine and then all of a sudden I kind of palsied up. I don't know what else to call it. All of a sudden my knees would buckle with each step I took and I felt I had less and less control over all of my muscles including my tongue. I started to have a hard time pronouncing words and started having a hard time coming up with them. I had to stop. It lasted for about an hour. I could still read out loud but trying to express my own thoughts was impossible. It gradually went away. I am really tired today and kind of dizzy again. I've heard lots of people say you feel worse when the B12 starts to heal your nerves. Is this what they mean?
