Your B12 level and folate level are a bit lower than most of us would be comfortable with, even if the range is "normal" (and a lot of us think the ranges, especailly for B12, are set too low in the US compared with Europe/Japan)--are you taking any kind of supplementation now?

I'm specifically wondering about that elevated ACE level--neurosarcoidosis, though rare, can present as granulomas of the nerve tissue even without presence in the respiratory tract:



Feel free to tell us all you are comfortable with (and you can use private messaging if there are things you don't want the "public" to see).
