Yes. You can have normal homocysteine level with Vit B12 deficiency. I personally feel Homocysteine level should not be done because of Dr Google , nor as a part of self medication. If you have been advised this test because of some heart ailments then only it should be done.
If your Homocysteine level is abnormal , making it normal may not be easy . And you will demand that it should be normal. A person with your temperament may develop Psychological issues just because Homocysteine level is not normal.
In short, be happy with your Vit B 12 levels. Take the Vitamin supplement accordingly .

Homocysteine is an amino acid. Vitamins B12, B6 and folate break down homocysteine to create other chemicals your body needs
