B12 blood levels with injections

[Ctadds1]

I get monthly injections and my blood levels are 1500. I have been receiving treatment for 5 months. My doc thinks this is sufficient and that I do not need more frequent injections despite the fact that my symptoms are all slowly coming back. I am wondering has anyone had their B12 levels checked while getting injections and what your numbers were? I know these numbers are falsely inflated and that doctors should go off of symptoms but my doc does not seem to think that is the case.

It states very clearly in the ' Hull" guidelines sleepybunny recently Posted with references.

B12 does not need testing once on injections. It means nothing.

Look through the posts

Get the references.

See another Gp.

I had a battle with this but have two weekly prescribed by the Gp.

Tried a longer gap. Hoping monthly but no.

Hi,

The article below might be a useful one to pass onto your doctor.

B12 article from Mayo Clinic in US.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Table 1 in above article is about frequent misconceptions about B12 deficiency.

The BSH Cobalamin and Folate Guidelines in UK suggest that testing B12 levels after treatment has started is irrelevant.

I am in the same position here. I get my injections based on my B-12 levels. I have to show the doctor some of the research the next time I go in.
