Default That B12 level--

--is a little low for my taste.

That EBV reading is likely not that important--it just indicates you've been exposed to Epstein-Barr Virus at some point in the past, like about 95% of us by age 30. Like all the human herpes viruses--EBV is human herpes virus 4--it is immortalized in the B-cells after initial exposure and one gets a certain immune response on testing from then on. There are times that such herpes virus dormancies can re-ctivate, though, and there are antibody patterns characteristic to that--and yes, sometimes this can lead to neuropathy.

That ACE result, though, does bear further checking into.
