My b12 level is 227 today. 15 months ago it was 194. doctors here & on the internet say this level is too low. i take a multivitamin everyday. dr checked level because i'm tired alot. all other labs normal. should i be worried? do i need b12 shots?

A multivitamin likely does not have enough Vitamin B in it to bring the level up sufficiently but just enough to maintain it if it is normal to start with. A month of 1000 micrograms per day would be the first choice to improve before going to injections. However, injections would definitely improve it too.
