Was having blood work and my B 12 levels came out. They are extremely high: above 5000. I'm used to having B12 injections every month or bi-weekly. When I read the causes of elevated 12 levels, I panicked.

I've never heard of elevated B12? I would discount what you're finding on the internet though. What does your Dr. think of the high level you're displaying?

Sounds like your bowel is recovering and you don't need all those shots.
High b12 is mostly from over supplementation

Well, Ambling my ESR tests were high and so were my calprotectin results. I have been suffering a lot lately so I feel it's so weird that my b 12 levels are that high. Every week, by Thursday, I feel drained and the B 12 injection boosts my energy. It's a B complex injection that consists of other 6 components other than b12. Maybe I'm deficient in these. I don't know. Will see my GI next week and he'll explain to me what's going on.
