Thanks for the answers...

Your B12 is too low for a young person especially.

I'd start with 5mg methylcobalamin (activated) B12 daily on an empty stomach. Do this for 3 months. This usually brings a person up to a reading of 1000 or more. This will be absorbed about 1% daily and that is 4x or more the amount from food.
It sounds like a lot, but most never gets into your blood stream...just enough to boost you back.
Some stores locally have this now, like Walgreen's. Costco and Sam's. And you can get it online --all are reasonable in price.

After you get back up...then you can either do the 5mg once or twice a week, or buy the 1mg. But I would continue on it indefinitely. The B12 is important for nerve cell repairs. You will get better faster and more completely with it.
