We've found that it's always a good idea to get copies of your lab reports. That way you can see first hand what was tested and the results. You'd be surprised at what can get missed. And you can monitor trends overtime. Blood work is just a snap shot in time and can be misleading if it's off. And most doctors do not have extensive backgrounds in nutrition so you do have to advocate for yourself.

Its great your wife picked up on the lansoprazole adverse effect issue. I would suggest working on finding out what's causing the tummy troubles. So much of your health is connected to your digestion.

I managed to get a cancellation appointment for Thursday it’s the best hospital in the uk based in central London,my initial appointment was in July..hopefully they will have more capable consultants than the previous I’ve seen.

Keep in mind that if they test for B12 again, it could be falsely elevated since you are taking supplements. Most feel it's best to stop all supplements 4 -7 days prior to testing to get a more accurate read.

OP: For whatever it's worth, I didn't read IF you know what caused your issues.. A good friend has dealt with ideopathic so says for her doctor, but she's taken statins, had a lot of skin cancers burned and ended up with a lot of neuropathy. She took all the drugs and finally is off most and taking Grape Seed Extract now maybe 7 yrs or so, I've been taking it 23 yrs and she's feeling very improved...still nerve pain but a lot more tolerable.

I deal with some nerve damage now from arthritic knee issues and infection I went thru and so it's hit me. So so many with nerve damage/pains and so few know about grape seed extract and how it can help with this damage. At least 200mg daily and some times more and you can do your own research on nerve damage and grape seed extract as you'll find a lot.

I managed to get all by blood test results which I had over the last few months..I noticed my ESR levels are 45, the range should be between 0-10,this has slowly been climbing for the last few years..is this a cause for concern

This is a test for inflammation and there are things that can effect results like anemia. I would think your doctor would pay some attention to this. On its own it doesn’t give you a diagnosis but it may help your doctor to pursue tests in that direction. It’s not a cause for concern, just information. I think the more data you can get the better chance you have of finding a cause.

Everything else is fine just my ESR and CRP is on the high end of the range 5(noraml range between 0-5)is this something I should mention to my GP to investigate?
