Most of the other blood numbers are in
Vit A 0.39 mg/L (in range)
Vit B1 whole blood 163 nmol/L (in range)
Vit B6 75.4 ng/mL (high)
Vit B12 303 pg/mL (in range)
Vit D 12 ng/mL (insufficiency)
Cadmium <0.3 ug/L (in range)
T&H 1.93 uIU/mL (in range)
Arsenic whole blood <10.0 ug/L (in range, but a bit high)
Lead whole blood <2.0 ug/dL (in range)
Mercury whole blood 4 ug/L (in range)
Pending: B3, B5, B7
Finding a decent neurologist is being difficult - my doctor said, humerously, most neurologist suffer from Ashburies  the point being, not many go into the field. The new neurologist just reviewed my chart and also wants to send me to UofW, but my primary care wont accept that the waiting list is into March. Since he knows the other neurologist he recommended, he's going to call them and they're going to have a 'chat' about my case, and he's "sicking his bulldog" (one of his med techs) on the folks at UofW until they agree to see me.
Some speech recognition software and a $3k hand control unit for the brakes on my car, and I may even be able to get back to work.
Hanging on...
and thanks again!

I've bolded your B12....it is in range only for the outdated ranges! The new lowest low is 400pg/ml.
So you need to start oral methyl B12 now, at least 1000mcg/1mg a day on an empty stomach. It would be best to do 5mg a day for 3 months and get retested.
Arsenic can come from natural sources, some foods, and well water. If you have pressure treated wood wash hands after handling. Don't breathe fumes from burning pressure treated wood either. Best not to burn it at all.
The B6 is not really too high compared to some ranges that go up to 90.
labs vary. edit to add: I went back and reread this thread, and you were taking vitamins when you had the testing. This is probably why for the B6. But it makes the B12 even more concerning, if 303 was the result coming back when you were supplementing a multivit.
Also, multivits may contain Vit K... look at your label...it they do they will interact with the coumadin.
When a pharmacy gets an RX that just says Vit D 50,000 IU...it will fill with D2, because there is only one D on RX and that is D2. It remains on RX because of historical reasons, and its status was never changed by the FDA.
