Thank you mrsD. I go in for lab work again this week I will get the numbers , that's exactly what they said your "normal" last time! Since I have been taking shots and vitamins I will reschedule for a later date. Benfotiamine 300 a day I will order some, thank you for the info. This may seem to be a stupid question but as a long time drinker I also smoke cigarettes ,haven't kicked that habit yet but have cut way back. Is is possible that cigarettes causes neuropathy? I know it can't help but it calms my nerves on the outside. My neurologist said I have sensory neuropathy and it was most likely permanent and may get worse. Probably have had this 4 to 5 years hard to say for sure but it started as a tickle in my feet changed to pain and slowly crawled up my legs. I have no reflexes with the rubber mallet on my knees and in the bend of my arms, not sure what to make of that. Thanks again

This says magnesium( as Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Gluconate). 250 mg.
Wow what is better ? Thanks.

Good absorption and good price= SlowMag. This comes in a generic too. WalMart has it. One tablet twice a day.

Example:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Slow-Mag-A...-1-CT/10321219

It can be pretty scary I know. I take fish oil with omega 3, a daily vitamin, and SlowMag 2 times a day. I think it was like 10 bucks at wal mart. I'm going to get my vitamin B and D checked this week and go from there on that. I think mine was caused mostly from alcohol, because my diet was awful when I drank all the time. Good luck to you and hopefully you'll find some relief.

I had more blood work taken this last week, I'll post it when they post my results. On the tests from the summer I wasn't taking anything. On the current tests I take a multivitamin, fish oil, some b12 type stuff that mrsD recommended, 2,000-4,000 iu of vitamin D a day, and SlowMag.

Thanks for that list.

You are still marginal on your B12. I'd raise that to 5mg a day on an empty stomach.

CPK is close to being out of range however. Don't know at this point what that means.

Thanks for the reply. I've been taking thr 5mg a day for a couple weeks and plan to do so for a few months and be retested. What is CPK, is it something else I should be concernrd about?

This is link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatine_kinase

Basically it reflects some muscle problems, and hypothyroid issues.
This link gives a list of what else, can raise this.
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...cle/003504.htm

Do you use statins for cholesterol? They can raise this.

Your test should be repeated in the future, in case this is a lab error.

I read over the links that you posted. One of the causes for the increase was alcohol, but it's been at least 6 months since I've consumed any alcohol. Another reason said it could be from an EMG, which was done back in October, but surely it would be down by down? At the time the tests were taken I had been taking a one a day vitamin, vitamin D, SlowMag, folate 800mcg, methyl-cobalamin, fish oil with omega 3, and possibly alieve because the back of my left knee has been having sharp stinging pains. Within the past few months I have been experiencing muscle spasms and twitches. Within the past couple weeks my left leg has had a strange weird weak feeling that comes and goes, it seems to fatigues easy.

I'm getting to the point to where I'm not sure which direction to go with all the different symptoms I have. I had told my self it was neuropathy due to alcohol, stress, and not eating like I should. But I find myself wondering about MS or some sort of autoimmune disease. I'm just not really sure what my next move should be. They're wanting to do an ultrasound of my legs and feet thursday and I'm supposed to go to a neurologist in Nashville May 20th. He specializes in MS and is board certified in psychiatry. I thought he could help determine between it being anxiety or something else. I'm glad this forum is here, because everyone on here understands how hard it is to be their own full time doctor and still have personal obligations. Between this, being a full time student, and having 2 babies I'm not sure what to do.

mrsD, I have been racking my brain for what could cause this to be high. I use to take creatine supplements when I worked out. This was a couple years ago though. I guess I need to have my kidneys tested?
