You will want to get the numbers of your B12 test.

The "normal" ranges in US are OLD, and have been replaced.

The old one goes down to 200.... the new one 400 is the lowest.

If you are below 400, you can sustain nerve damage over time.
Don't ever accept "normal" from a doctor doing vitamin testing.
Most doctors do not understand this.

So here is a medical site written for doctors, to help them treat patients correctly based on new medical evidence:
http://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0301/p979.html

That site was written in 2003... and still many doctors don't properly test, interpret test results or treat effectively.
