If you were taking vitamins and did not discontinue them, and had that test for B12.... and it was 600... that might be a false elevation. One has to stop the B12 for at least 72 hrs and ideally a bit longer, in order to see where you are.

I'd get a MMA test to see if you are utilizing properly. The B12 that is unmethylated in your blood would show up in the regular serum test. But if you have the MTHFR mutation, and cannot methylate properly, you would test okay, but in reality would not have activated B12 working in the tissues. So you are not out of the woods yet with it, I think.
