Nice to meet you.

Dear Cyn.... Don't accept "normal" from your doctor for B12 levels. Get the number result. Anything below 400 should be supplemented. In the US very low B12 shows on lab ranges as normal. People with in that low range can have neurological symptoms:

This paper explains it more fully.
