Question : I have been told that my B12 level is 1518 which is raised. I have to wait for two weeks to speak to GP about it. I have been taking 1000ug of B12 each day as I have MS and have been told that I should take the supplement. I also eat a fair amount of leafy veg. I am worried about what I read online about causes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.

As you are taking VitB12 injections, a high vitamin level in blood shows that you are taking too much VitB12.

You should not try to find other causes.

You need to lower the dose or stop the treatment as your physician will recommend.

Hope the information will help.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
