I would as sometimes symptoms can worsen a bit before improveneers are made. 2 weeks isn't very long.

Short answer 1970s keep taking the injections - they are not a "quick fix" and whilst some symptoms may improve some will appear to get worse as the B12 starts to repair the damage done to the nerves.

I am not medically trained and wish you well.

Where are you getting methylcobalamin from? If it hasn't been stored properly, or prepared properly, then it might well have gone off.
