Where do you get the information on Vitamin B12 levels for those of us with neuropathy? Mine level is on the low normal. In the past when I was taking vitamin supplements my B levels where high and I stopped taking them. Now I am taking cyanocobalamin (B12) 1,000 mcg daily.

I take 8000 mcg daily of B12 Methylcobalamin as one of my supplements for neuropathy. I posted my neuropathy story in the Members Neuropathy Journey Stories discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.
Are you able to share a little more about your neuropathy diagnosis and any treatments you have tried?
