Lowest norm in US is 400, and in Japan it is 500 (because Japan had a huge drug scandal that caused crippling/deadly events for 10's of thousands of their population in the 70's, so they are much more aggressive with B12 than here).
I would start on 5mg oral methylcobalamin daily on an empty stomach and retest in 3 months or so. This should bring you up considerably, and then you can see if it is working for you.

Oh thank you for such precise instructions! I have written that down and will get them this week. I am going to ask the pharmacist to ensure I get the right thing. I am so encouraged, you have no idea! Thank you!
