Thank you for your thoughtful response. I have read the articles you suggested and have additional insight to my issue. I have been trying to convince anyone who will listen that I’m not ok but as you mentioned, it has been dismissed. I am going to renew my advocacy for myself and try to find other avenues of help. Thank you again,

You’re welcome and I hope you keep pushing to find an answer. From everything I’m seeing about high B-12 readings in blood, it can signal the possibility of actual low B-12 with little being utilized in your body.
So you may have a deficiency especially with some of your symptoms. I’d hate to have that missed when to start with, you could have Vit B-12 supplements to see if it helps you.

You might start by writing out what you want to say to your doctor or send him/her an email stating your concerns. I know sometimes they’re so busy they fail to take in some of our considerations! We know our bodies better than anyone else and when we start experiencing strange symptoms we need answers. I went through similar 3 years ago with my doctor, whom I have always respected…and as a ‘lady of age’ I felt I was getting dismissed when I was clearly, seriously ill.
In my case she wasn’t taking blood work and that was the downfall. Anyway, that’s water over the dam and I’m grateful things all worked out. But it was a reminder to continually advocate for ourselves. The key is to be persistent yet pleasant. 😅
