You lived for quite a while with a very very low level. It will take time to recover. Your levels show you are absorbing the
B12 as you are taking it, ie. that you are taking it correctly.

You also want to make sure your Vit D levels are checked.
This is another nutrient that seems to become very low in Americans.
Thank you mrsD. Am I dense? My question is this: do I continue to take B12 1000's now that test results show a level of about 1050? If so, how much?

PS I wrote you a personal note thanking you for all your encouragement and excellent advise to me ... and to all. I don't know if you rec'd it because I wasn't sure how to do it. Brain fog. Anyway, you're TOPS. Nancy

Okay, I understand now.

You continue to take the B12, like you are now...forever.
Whatever made you so low, is still there, the circumstance.

B12 is not harmful, and itself is not the issue. Now you start to repair, and store in the liver which obviously was gone for you to have such a low test result.

And remember, what shows in the serum blood test, does not tell us anything about what is happening in the tissues. It is just what is floating around on its way to someplace in the body.

As regards to a "message"? I have no PM or visitor message from you in those places.
I did get a "friendship" request and authorized it and I do appear on your friendship
list. There is a post on the thread where you asked about brain size etc, where you
posted a thank you...
