Brief Answer:
It all could be due to candida overgrowth or lupus

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query, seen the reports and here is my advice.

I personally think that most of your symptoms are being caused due to candida overgrowth. This overgrowth is quite common. It can reduce by taking low sugar diet, regular exercise, good lifetsyle and drinking cleaner water with low ppm. Here drinking cleaner water is a must and should be tried for atleast 3 weeks.

However your antibodies are also positive. The report says that dense fine speckled pattern of anti-uclear antibodies is noted. It suggests presence of DFS70 antibody. Its mostly seen in normal individuals. In presence of symptoms it maybe seen in conditions like systemic lupus erythematosis, mixed connective tissue disease, progressive systemic sclerosis diffuse type and sjogren syndrome. But your symptoms are not specific for any single condition here.

Your vitamin B12 is high. It could be due to injections of this vitamin. It can be stopped until further low levels of this vitamin are detected.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
