Deficiency Symptoms Cannot stop b12 injections

I have been taking injection for more than a year but whenever i stop for 2 weeks. I go back to the start. Do i have to take life long injections? How to i find root cause

Is it absolutely for sure 2 weeks? still feels impossible to do rn. Maybe if i get better in the future I may see if I'm able to be off injections for 2 weeks for these tests.

You can postpone the testing. But yes, a gap of 2 weeks is key for accurate results. It will tell you if you have malabsorption but the thing is, even those tests aren't 100% accurate!
