Urine methymalonate -- should I test before or after starting B12?

I'm sure the ideal answer would be 'both', but that is unlikely to be possible.

I'd also love input on these other ordered tests -- before or after starting B12?

Homocysteine

cystathionine (or CBS polymorphisms, but I'm guessing this is cheaper?)

2-methylcitrate

GSH (Glutathione, in plasma)

GSSG (oxidized Glutathione, test both)

S-adenosymethionine (in RBC)

S-adenosylhomocysteine (RBC, test both for ratio)

And, hello everyone :). I haven't been posting because I've been too brain-foggy, but have been reading a little.
