> I had B12 tested. It came out to be in the 'normal' range as opposed to 'deficient' or 'intermediate'. It was 313 pg/ml and the normal range is 180-914 pg/ml at my lab

313 definitely sounds lowish. i couldn't persuade my doctor to give me the injections so i just ordered the methyl-b12 lozenges from iherb (5mg) and dissolved one under my tongue everyday for a month. i also took a b-complex each day. now i take a maintenance dose of 1mg every second day or so.
i can't guarantee it will help you, but i definitely see no harm in trying. that and low vit D were the two main culprits in my case.
