I have to ask.... what solvents are you exposed to in your work?

Many can cause nerve damage.

So this was the first lab ordered by the neurologist. I guess doesn't tell much regarding the paraneoplastic cancers or does it? Would something in this lab show up abnormal?

You need to look into that B6 level a bit. Are you supplementing with something or drinking a lot of protein shakes or? High levels of B6 can cause peripheral neuropathy over time. You shouldn't be getting more than 100mg a day and in reality it should be much much less than that even. Check your supplements.

You serum protein electropheresis looks good. They may not see a need or the urine PE, but you really should have a 24 hr done. Every thing else looks great. Your ESR is not elevated.. that is good.

So based off this lab is the likelihood low I have an autoimmune issue?

NO...these tests ONLY indicate that high levels of protein isn't in your blood and that your SED rate is normal, so no signs of inflammation.

Autoimmune testing starts with an ANA and/or ENA (anti-nuclear-antibody), CRP (for inflammation), SSA, and SSB,(Sjogren's labs), RF (rheumatoid factor), etc There are other but these are some of the basics to cover some more common autoimmune disorders.

I have to ask: with all your running, did you every run on unpaved trails? I ask in case you might have gotten into ticks during your run. Any possibility? It is very common to NOT get the bulleye rash with Lyme disease. Are you around wooded areas a lot where you might have picked up a tick? If so, then you might want to mention it in case they feels it's warranted to run Lyme testing as well....just to coverall bases.

Lyme disease is rare to non existent in Tennessee.

Just curious, is bloodwork something that should be tested regularly for a diagnosis, especially when symptoms get worse? Or is a one time test when the symptoms begin sufficient?
