I am simulating a differential circuit with a calculated gain of 1000 (10M/1k) but when I run it in the simulator I only get a gain of about
Post your schematic on A.B.S.E or a URL link.

Without looking at your circuit, my guest is that you don't have enough current feeding back to the op-amp. Try dropping the resistors and/or using two stages.
With the info you provided for all we know you could have a path the length of the Chartres Labyrinth dropping your gain. provide schematic for any helpful assistance.
BTW wouldn't "The Chartres Labyrinth" make a nifty looking spiral inductor on a pcb...
maybe aa a delay line, all that doubling back would reduce its inductance
Or maybe a folded antenna for vhf/uhf on a circuit board...saves a lot of space.
