Yesterday i went to the doctors again and see an actual doctor, not a nurse, he was a new doctor, told him how terrible ive been feeling, and that the nurse had stopped my injections because levels were high, he said well they would be high on injections, he said he could see my levels dropping since injections-were stopped, so he ordered a blood test for b12, folate and ferritin, maybe still a way off from getting injections back, but i felt that he heard me last night and he new a little bit about b12! Im keeping everything crossed for a decent outcome. Last b12 was 217 in sept 18

Hope you get what you need. Levels only a guide it's the symptoms that are important. I had severe side effects from injections and thought I'd get reassurance from the nurse. I disn't. She simply said there aren't any side effects! !!!

So yes choose if possible who to ask.
