2 month lab results? Normal?

If it's in the reference range listed on the lab report, it's probably OK. I'm not really familiar with that test, I had to look it up. Do you know why they ordered it? I assume you mean you are taking 2500 mcg B12 three times a week, but why did you get the methylmalonic acid checked instead of just getting a B12 level?
And why did you just get these two labs done?

the doc said that this test is more accurate to see were my b12 was? My 1 month labs were a CBC and CMP, which were normal. My 2 month was this test and thiamine, and my 3 month is CBC,CMP,serum iron,TSH,T4,Thiamine,methylmalonic acid, PTH,Vit D.
The doc did say with the methylmalonic acid i could take at any time even if i had my b12 already and it wouldnt effect the test, that it was somehow like how the Hemoglobin A1C checkes glucose?
