It is not easy to find a physician "up" on B12 and its finer points.

Here is a medical website to explain it more for you:
http://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0301/p979.html

They don't go into what causes high B12 however on that link.

Many doctors don't know about methylcobalamin yet either.

This article explains a mechanical failure of the testing machines, when certain antibodies are present:
http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc1201655
This gives unnaturally high levels of B12....and only in certain types
of patients.

You might want to be retested in a few months. Avoid supplements too.
