On a side note, I had an EMG done of the upper extremities, because the Cervical Spine MRI showed 2 mild herniated discs . The results showed carpel tunnel and ulnar nerve dmg in both arms, and nerve damage in my neck. She wanted to do more blood tests.
Me too, same thing. Sounds exactly like me. The first symptom of neuropathy for me was the carpal tunnel diagnosed about 10 years ago.

My Vitamin D level was 26, and the neuro didn't seem to think it's a problem..so I added Vit D to my regiment. In April he is having more blood work done, and I am going to request my Vit D be tested again, to see if it's improving.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
