Low copper causes anemia, too. You should get that tested.

Monthly B12 doesn't always work for everyone. You should get tested again. Do not test within a week of your shot.

Some people have a genetic error (10-30%) and cannot convert cyanocobalamin to its active form. Are you getting cyano form?
There is a DNA test to show if you have methylation failure.
An MMA will also help show this problem. A low MMA result indicates that the B12 you do have is working. A high result is problematic and suggests you use hydroxocobalamin or methylcobalamin instead. (methyl form is usually obtained from compounding pharmacies).

This is our B12 thread:

You cannot assume that doctors are handling B12 therapy properly...some do not. The old lab ranges still do not flag levels as abnormal below 400pg/ml.
