I realize that your overall B12 is low, but if your B12 test is in the 300s after all the injections... or did you only begin injecting after your blood was drawn for the test? it would appear to have been even very low at one point.

Thanks for replying again.
I am taking 1 x day multi B
I did NOT begin self using B12 until after I had the blood draw so what is reflected in the test results was ACCURATE for that point in time.
What is interesting .... a slightly off topic, but highly appropriate me thinks:
I am prescribed 5mg Folic Acid by my GP 1 x daily
This was suggested to the GP by the hospital dietician as a possible means to lower my homocystein (which by the way was never measured UNTILL I asked for it last week) but it was posited that if my cholesterol was high... which it is according to docs here (thats another topic all together) then high cholesterol = high homocystein because of inflammation.......
The point being they have never really checked my folate levels properly recently, so I have stopped the 5mg tablets and will ask for a test for folate before I go back onto them.
Will write more soon
