you don't need injections. You can do oral by yourself.

Many non-American people visit these boards and self medicate.

iherb.com ships to Netherlands. You may have an import quota,
because of Codex. That you would have to research a bit.

Oral daily has been shown as effective as injectable in medical studies.

I hate to say this, but a cut off of 150 in your country is archaic.

Diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency is typically based on measurement of serum vitamin B12 levels; however, about 50 percent of patients with subclinical disease have normal B12 levels. A more sensitive method of screening for vitamin B12 deficiency is measurement of serum methylmalonic acid and homocysteine levels, which are increased early in vitamin B12 deficiency.
Given that B12 is benign and has little or NO potential for causing harm, hesitating to use it
when frank neurological symptoms are present, is a poor decision, IMO.
