Have you been tested for the MTHFR gene mutation? If you have this mutation, you may have difficulty absorbing B12. There are active forms of B12 that improve absorption.
If you haven’t been tested, ask your doctor.

Yes, I have, and I do have a partial mutation, so I take methylated B12 for supplements. My numbers are up and I’d say about 40% of my days are good after 8 months of supplementation. But a good portion of my days are still very painful and I’m wondering if I will recovery any more.
