A problem: Being "over the requireed amount" may be because it had been built up in the blood and not yet used. I would be sure to get it checked out again after an interval. Ask if your mium's urine or blood could be tested for methyl malonic acid. That is the bgest way of knowing if there is B12 deficiency.
