How interesting.
You remind me of my doctor who said I could not be b12 deficient because I was not a vegetarian.
Another doctor told me I should be on Prozac for life... and that he wouldn't recommend more B12 for me than a shot a month.
When I went to a holistic doctor she wrote me a prescription for enough cyanocobalamin to give myself a shot a day. I was sure she'd made a math error. But, when I began to use that much peripheral neuropathy I'd had for years, and with other doctors had told me was permanent, get used to it, went away.
Luckily a neurologist I went to told me to keep a time line. That helped me see what symptoms went away after shots, and how long that took.
Now I use sublinguals. So SO much easier.
And, I gave up GMO food which appears to have lowered how much B12 I need to use. I guess the pesticide built into GMOs was killing the good bacteria related to B12.
If I were you, I'd start keeping a time line, and see what happens... People are not the same. Your doctor may have someone else in mind... lol
