more blood test results
Very frustrating. My B12 is still low but within the official "normal" range. (I've heard more than one doctor say that deficiency symptoms appear in some people at levels higher than the official limit (such as 400 or less), but that statement doesn't help me diagnose the issue.)
Just to record them somewhere, here are my test results from Thursday last week. According to these results, I am neither B12 deficient nor anemic. According to all the medical tests I've had done this year, I'm actually a rather healthy individual. Joy. Of course, I still woke up this morning to the familiar sensation of muscle twitches. *grrrr*

Mercury is the only thing left to consider that I haven't already been tested for. *ignorant shrug*
