You could try using patches or sub lingual. You might find that works. But unfortunately it is all a bit hit and miss what works for one person doesnt necessarily for someone else- all trial and error.

Very high doses orally can help some people but you need to be taking around 1000-10000mcg. Better to try sublinguals (trying to get absorption through membranes in mouth rather than through the gut).

You may find that you get the reaction 'it can't be B12 because you are getting treatment' ... but hope you manage to speak to a GP that is really prepared to listen.

Whites of the eyes turning yellow can be a sign of Gilbert's syndrome (a problem with the liver but not a harmful one). High levels of bilirubin showing up in blood tests are the marker......
