Great. Give it some time. I bet your levels will rise. My last level was 2000. Who knew about these things. I had to come to these forums to learn what I now know to be true.

And here's a good one for you. Years ago, I was at the podiatrists office. I usually get Dr. B. That day, Dr. B was not available so Dr. S took over. He was doing my husband's feet and I mentioned to him that I take Methyl B-12 every morning for my neuropathy which became un-symptomatic. The doctor looked at me and said "Melody, I would NEVER prescribe B-12 for anyone unless they were severely anemic". I looked at him and said "Oh Really", then I began to slowly and carefully and POLITELY explain what Methyl B-12 does for people with diabetic neuropathy and people with deficiencies in B-12.

He looked at me and said' "That's a lot of nonsense". I said nothing

Exactly one year later, Alan and I are at Dr. B's and we are sitting in his office and Dr. S pops in and says "Hi there, can you tell me all you know about Methyl B-12 and neuropathy, because I just got diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy"

A doctor asked ME about B-12. Of course I gave him what I knew.

Hah!!!! that's all I have to say

lol
