Needs evaluation: If you are taking vitamin B12 then this is not a problem. If you aren't then I'm sorry to tell you that high B12 levels can be a sign of serious health problems including liver or kidney disease, myelproliferative disorders including leukemia and polycythemia vera and hypereosinophilic syndrome. It is important for you to be evaluated to find the underlying cause. See http://tinyurl.com/pvyna2z
