By the time anemia shows up, a person can have significant neurological damage, and some or all of that can be permanent!

Here is a very good video on this subject:

You can also have the genetic MTHFR polymorphism and be unable to activate cobalamin to methylcobalamin. 10-30% of people have this problem or a variant.

Any level lower than 400pg/ml is considered problematic.
Today it costs pennies a day for oral methylcobalamin. No excuse for being low. While this was mostly only available online, today some major stores like WalGreen's and Costco have it on the shelves. We pay 6 CENTS a day for ours! (Costco).
