That doesn't sound quite right. I was severely transfusion dependant (3 units every two weeks) for a long time and I still had low B12. I need courses of B12 injections from time to time. Homocysteine levels can be high with folate deficiency rather than B12 deficiency so if the level is high there needs to be a clinical judgement as to which vitamin is deficient.
