I have been taking vitamin b 12 for almost 8years and now my doc says it is too high. If it does not go down she is looking for leukemia> I am scared to death. I use to buy B 12 at costco and eat them by the handful thinking they were good for energy..more is better. Has anyone else had elevated b 12 like me. Thanks you Ilene

Many vitamins are unhealthy in high amounts.  B12 in excess is actually associated with the development of many cancers.  You need to tell your doctor how much you were eating and work with her.  It's still good to be screened for leukemia and other issues to rule them out.  Good luck with everything :)

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
