Hi Julie
I have been doing quite a bit of research into B12 levels...and I have found conflicting advice regarding what is a satisfactory B12 level. Some of the information states that levels below 500 are not acceptable, but I know that where I live levels of 120 and above are considered to be normal. The literature I have read suggests that it is not possible to over dose on B12 and too much is better than too little....I know the effects of too little B12 too well, it caused permanent brain damage to my infant son. So my advice would be to go ahead with your B12 injections and keep your levels monitored. I hope this helps. Karin.
: Had blood work done and was told that my B12 level was slightly low at 210. Have been having all kinds of symptoms I thought were Fibromyalgia. But Ive been reading these boards and found out that the FM symptoms are similar to PA. Im just wondering what normal levels should be. Started shots today for 4 weeks. But my follow up with Dr isn't till next week. Thanks in advance.
