Could it be possible that my B12 levels are high because the body isn't absorbing B12 for some reason? If so, what could possibly cause that to happen? Is there a specific test that can be done to check B12 absorption rate?
I'll stop the B-complex and just take B12 as suggested and see what happens. The burning in my feet seems to be less now, but my right leg is still weaker than the left. Thanks for all your help and support! 8-) |

B12 levels cannot become high, if you are not absorbing.
They can become high if your kidneys are not excreting it. So some studies show high B12 levels when no supplements are taken, as kidney related. High levels of B12 with no supplements, may occur with some leukemias, or some intestinal dysbioses (infections with certain B12 forming organisms). These are pretty uncommon and not usually found with a B12 screen.
