Perhaps CIDP?

Hello again! I still do not have further tests on vitamins, zinc and magnesium but the following results came in today: CEREBRAL SPINAL ALB 35.3 mg/dL 0.0-35.0 mg/dL CEREBRAL SPINAL IgG 3.6 mg/dL 0.0-3.4 mg/dL CSF TOTAL PROTEIN 55 mg/dL 15-45 mg/dL % of Total 7 % 4-18 % CSFGA 0.10 RATIO 0.02-0.45 RA...

Hi Jimmylegs,

I checked the online system and have found the following value for B12:
VITAMIN B12 413 pg/mL 180-933 pg/mL

They ran more blood tests while I was at the hospital so maybe they will show up on the system eventually. Otherwise, I will try my best to get those other values.

I most definitely will. Best of luck to all of you in the meantime.

Dear all, Thank you for your support during this difficult time. In the end, I was admitted to the hospital, and after ruling out heart and lung problems, I had both an MRI and a Spinal Tap performed and I stayed at the hospital 2 days, which actually really helped with my fatigue. I will get the re...

Hello again, So, according to resident neurologist, MRI of spine looks fine, brain shows three lesions in the white matter that are not active. The doctor said that those lesions in of themselves are not conclusive of MS but he does not rule out it could be the diagnosis in the end. They are discuss...

Also, something that has always been in the back of my mind is food intolerances. I do not have any food allergies but I could definitely have intolerances. I did have some major digestive issues 10 years ago. My son, 13, has lots of allergies and gains weight extremely easily. I think he has intole...

Thank you! I am typing on my phone so please excuse typos. I have been taken in. An EKG and an X-ray of my chest have both come back normal. MRI has been requested for today. It will take hours, but I do not mind. I am going to ask if they have checked those other values. Today they have drawn more ...

So, if they confirm MS, do you think I should not be taking any medication? I was thinking I should start with it along with the dietary changes.

Thank you so much Jimmylegs. I am absolutely going to take this all into account. I could live with where I am at (even though it is such a pain to have weak legs and arms) but I am petrified with the thought of this getting any worse. I am going to look for a recommendation to a dietitian in this a...
