Did you get copies of your blood test results ? Drs will very often say normal when you're at the bottom of the range. You can get B12 deficiency symptoms ( and Vit D and iron deficiencies) when you're at the bottom end of the "normal" range

My private blood tests said B12 low ( and I had symptoms) but GP said within range. I chose to self inject and a lot if the symptoms ---- hand tremor, shortness of breath ( which was extreme) and tinnitus went first.

Worth getting copies to check your levels.
