Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. My B12 was taken a few weeks after I started a B Complex and was at 400 which I've also read is low, especially with supplementation. interestingly enough, months later my B6 was taken and was high (44) which apparently can also cause/contribute to neuropathy. Since then I've taken out the B complex (due to the high B6) and am now taking a B12 raw supplement and my level as of last week was at 1100, quite the jump! I had two pregnancies within two years and breastfed and in addition, was taking acid reducing pills which I believe could all contribute to a deficiency. Any insight on recovery time from B12 once your levels start to rise?
Thanks again
