When oral fails, it is most likely being done wrong.
You must take it alone, on an empty stomach 1 or 2 hours before any food. Presence of food with it will prevent absorption.
I'd suggest you invest in 5mg oral methylcobalamin and use it daily on an empty stomach, and for 3-4 months and then get a new test to compare.

Hi mrsD: I have seen the above bold text debated back and forth somewhere, maybe this forum or others. What leads you to take this side of the debate?
I've been on SLs for 6 months for PN and other neurological symptoms, have seen some improvement but want to make sure I'm doing everything the best I can. My doctors, not surprisingly, are pretty clueless. My story is in the intro section, titled "Hi, I need some advice . . ." (sorry I can't link yet til I get more posts)
