Welcome to NeuroTalk, Geraldine.
It is hard to answer your questions. I think you should call the doctor and get the actual test result for the B12 in numbers.
What she thinks is high, may not in fact be high.
And yes your intake from supplements may artificially raise the results.
But B12 has no upper limit, so whatever reading is "high" is not
an issue. What is an issue is whether you need it or not.
Anemia can be from many things. Doctors should supervise you if you they recommend iron supplements. But anemia can come from low copper, kidney disease, internal bleeding, heavy periods for women, and other causes. Low white cells are problematic if below 3000 or so.
I'll have to look up your supplements, perhaps tomorrow. Can't do that tonight.
