Welcome to NeuroTalk:

"Normal" is not adequate for B12 levels. That is because labs in the US still report using the OLD values, which go down to low 200's. New treatment protocols are in place today, with 400 as the most acceptable low. So please get your numerical results on your B12 test, if you had one. If you didn't have this done, you should do it ASAP, because if you are low, you are getting damaged every day. Get a Vit D level done at the same time,
because low D is also very common.

Next, look at any drugs you are taking now for other things.
This includes blood pressure. Have you been on any antibiotics recently? Which ones. Do you take statins for cholesterol?
Did you have an A1C measured? If not it would be good to know what yours is.
