Your current symptoms may indicate that your vitamin B12 levels have decreased again due to irregular supplementation. It is advisable to have your vitamin B12 level rechecked to confirm any deficiency and consult your doctor for guidance on resuming regular, high-dose oral B12 supplementation or considering injectable forms if levels remain low. Avoid self-treatment, as symptoms such as brain fog and head pain may also suggest nerve involvement (neuropathy). Additionally, maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamin B12 sources, such as eggs, dairy products, and fortified cereals.
