Interpretation of tests can vary from doctor to doctor.
A specialist might give you more information than a doctor who
is not experienced with heavy metal toxins.
This is a highly specialized problem, and we are limited here about answering it. But many of us have experience with doctors who look at test results and say "normal" when they are not.
So I would get a specialist's opinion on this issue.
Much of the data on the net comes from India, where arsenic is found in well water. Page 7 of this paper discusses nerve effects including EMG results:

Don't forget to tell your doctor about your Beau's lines. That is a significant detail that may help your diagnosis.
I would not assume bottled water is safe. Perrier had a contamination in the past! (contained benzene).
It is fairly well known in US that many "bottled waters" are just pulled from the tap, and may or may not be filtered further. |
I do drink "spring water" which I know isn't worth the bottle it's in! It could be the source, I've explained the the doctor about the lines and he pulled on my nails and tried to bend them and that was it. I asked as to why it was only on one side and he didn't really respond, he was talking about something else and got sidetracked.
This is an uphill battle and to think this could very well not be the cause, I may be overreacting which is very easy to do when you're searching for a cause of uncontrollable pain. I get carried away thinking this could possibly be the answer and it may not.
I know that according to the test references my amount of arsenic for the day is just slightly elevated, and the rest are under the reference numbers but as it's arsenic it's worry some. I expected Mercury as it's fairly common and even lead, but not this!
Thank you so SO much for all of your help, you're the light at the end of the tunnel
