Default My B-12 level is at 169

I went to the doctor for extreme dizziness and low blood pressure they diagnosed me with vertigo. Come to find out I have an extremely low B-12 level. I am wondering if I should do the shots or the sublingual drops.

What does your doctor advise you to do?

Default Even if you dop decide to do the shots--

--with that low a level, I'd still do the daily megdosing, sublingual or otherwise, probably in the neighborhood of 3000-5000mcg daily to start, and methylcobalamin (rather than cyanocobalamin--and you'd want that in shots, as well). Easy enough to get on-line, and even in some stores now, and not expensive.
