"Fatigue, brain fog, and tingling in your hands or feet could point to a problem with your B12 levels, even if your bloodwork is technically “normal.” "
"Standard serum B12 tests are not always reliable, so testing methylmalonic acid (MMA) and homocysteine can help uncover a functional deficiency even if B12 levels look normal on paper."

I started taking Centrum Silver multivitamin multimineral almost daily and the problem I was having with neuropathy disappeared. But I do start getting fatigued if I don't take them for a few days and slight finger or toe tingling returns.
