Yes!

In fact, most people, even with severe malabsorption, can build up their stores with 1000 - 2000 mcg per day cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin is better, as more usable B12 gets through, and the body does not have to be able to convert it.

Unfortunately, you could go to dozens of doctors (even specialists) without finding one within decades of being up on B12 issues.

Doctors told me I was fine, while my central nervous system deteriorated due to B12 deficiency. Eventually I was "lucky" to get to a neurologist (a rare one) who knew something about the last 40 years of B12 research. He diagnosed me and set me on the long and difficult road to many repairs. Unfortunately, because of the long delay, some things will almost surely not repair.

Take care of yourself, and YES, keep up the methylcobalamin. Also look through this forum for information on other nutrients that might help your body. At minimum, a good B complex and fish oil (sorry if we've already discussed that.
