There is a diagnostic sign that some physicians use to
validate low B12 issues.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romberg%27s_test

This is the test shown on Discovery Health, on that episode I
mentioned. A positive Romberg's sign is indicative of lost neuro functions, which can be induced by low B12 levels.

The homocysteine is high. Anything over 8 is not good.

It might be advisable for you to use all 3 vitamins that are involved with homocysteine metabolism:
Metanx is the newest mixture with all 3 Bs that are in activated form.

Without a DNA test for methylation (MTHFR) you do not know if you are methylating your vitamins properly, so using activated forms of folate, B6 and B12 by passes that error.
