HI all I was b 12 deficient and started supplementing. Recently I am feeling tired and experiencing burning eyes. I checked my b12 it is over 2000. The last time I checked my serum folate it was 7.6 in the month of july. Are my symptoms related to low folic acid ?I guess 7.6 is good isn’t? From past 2 days i started electrolytes as well. Need some advice on this?

checking B12 levels after treatment isn’t helpful - it’s always going to be high, for months even if you’ve stopped treating it.

The advice is to instead go off symptoms. If you’re still exhausted, then maybe your treatment wasn’t enough? Are you on injections?
