Hello and thanks for the response. Both of my kids are in daycare so they are a constant germ factory. Covid rates in my town were peaking at the time I got sick. Also I saw lots of people in the hospital at that time with covid. I didn't have any home tests so I cannot say for certain but that's my best guess.

I have had chicken pocks but not shingles and I'm not sure about EBV.

CBC (Complete Blood Count): Normal

CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel): Normal, except slightly low potassium (3.4)

CRP & ESR: Low (indicating no active inflammation)

CK & Aldolase: Normal (no evidence of muscle breakdown)

Vitamin B12: Elevated from supplementation (1900)

Autoimmune Panel:

ANA, SSA, SSB, CCP, RF, and Anti-thyroid peroxidase: All negative

Serum & Urine Protein Electrophoresis: Normal, except slightly low alpha-2 band (0.5)—not clinically significant

Skin Biopsy: Normal epidermal nerve fiber density (no small fiber loss)

Was B6 checked?

Also no alcohol or tobacco use

I can totally relate with daycares being Petri dishes and making parents sick with all of the viruses they were never exposed to (had this happen the first 2 years my son was in daycare).

Did your neurologist tell you to stop the B complex supplements due to high b12 toxicity in your bloodwork? That causes neuropathy.

Are you on a high protein/low carb diet?
