Red face Elevated b12 question anyone?

Hello everyone,

Just a short introduction (and thank you for reading this) about 6 years ago began with violent scalp pain and burning. Visits to numerous doctors turned up nothing. After my own personal research I found that b12 can help with nerve pain. I was trying over the counter but did not seem to work until I stumbled across a methyl product that sold a nose spray bottle. Claim was that it acts faster makes it through blood stream into body quicker. I ordered it and would use it daily in one nostril. Scalp seemed to improve? I was reading you most likely cannot overdo b12 so I continued it.

I saw a random doctor who decided to test my b12 recently.( I never had it checked prior to supplimentation). I told him I was on suppliments. Long and short my b12 came back off the charts high. Above 2000. I decided to cut back on my b12 because of concern of the levels. I have been off all vitamins for about 30 days. My b12 has come back now at 1700. Under normal circumstances I would not be concerned with my b12 but scalp pain is just one of the strange things going on undiagnosed with me and blood cancers run in the family. So this is why I cut back.

Sorry to digress. My question is has anyone had b12 levels so high? How soon would they decrease after discontinuation of b12? Months, years? Should I be worried? All other blood work appears unremarkable.

Thank you kindly if you have made it this far.
