Hi Yu Ping, welcome.

If your B12 has been that high since before your symptoms began, I think it's likely that the cause of your PN may be something else. If you read the STICKY - The Vitamin B12 Thread:, B12 is very safe, and most likely cannot be too high for people with PN. I think you can resume taking it, though after reading some more, you may want to switch to the methyl form.

Some people here take more D3 than that as well (I take 5000 IU/day), so you could try increasing what you're taking now. There is a thread on Vitamin D here:
