sir, I have got the tests done. Reports are uploaded. Please see and advise further. Thanking you.
Brief Answer:
Reports look normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
I went through your reports and they all look normal.
I may add here that serum Vitamin B 12 wpuld have been helpful and you can see whether the deficiency is present which is causing you the peripheral neuropathy. However I doubt that as you are not anemic and macrocytosis is absent.
Other than that its advisable to continue the said medications as mentioned in our previous discussion for at least 1 week to 10 days and see how it helps.
Other wise your reports are excellent and in normal range and nothing to be worried on that part.
Hope this helps.
Any more questions are welcome.
Thank you
