Seems to me there is no such thing as B12 deficiency without neurological effects. Most notably fatigue. It seems that neurological symptoms are only considered if peripheral neuropathy is experienced. This does not seem credible to me.
Seems to me the advancement in treatment of B12 deficiency is all but stalled at 1 mg hydroxocobalamin every other day and has been for 25 years. That is considered to solve any problems of any conscience. That does not seem credible in my case.
Seems to me the focus of those trying to help those who experience B12 deficiency is diagnosis. The un-diagnosis and misdiagnosis of B12 deficiency is systemic and many people are suffering needlessly. The effective treatment for a person who is diagnosed seems to not be of interest.
This is not a rant against physicians although I do engage in that at times out of frustration. Nor is it not being appreciative of the work of those that are doing the important work of trying to get other physicians to correctly diagnose.
It is more framing what I am up against.

Mental health issues are neurological as well and often get dismissed/forgotten too. And memory loss. And aphasia etc etc. It doesn't help that the brain can't feel pain. Well maybe that's a good thing actually.
Thank you for the information. Good on you for your solve. I did a trial of sublingual only. I improved until I used up all my B12 by moving to another country. Thank you for the offer of sending you a msg. I have my hands full right now. Maybe later.
Hallo, i have peripheral neuropathy because of great b12 D. It was in 2016. Till now i have more than 1000 shots of hydroxoc. Feel much better. I will try one shot per week in future. Be happy and dont be afraid !
If you research current understanding you will find the current standard in the UK with peripheral neuropathy is 1 mg hydroxocobalamin every other day. I personally see that standard as a minimum and out dated.
