Good morning, @pain3relief, and welcome to Connect!

I, too, have peripheral neuropathy, or, after a year and a year of trying to arrive at a more precise diagnosis, I’m now able to say I have large fiber (predominantly sensory, with a dash of motor and autonomic) multifocal polyneuropathy—a mouthful, I know. Fortunately––and boy, do I mean fortunately!––I have no pain, none whatsoever; my symptom is twofold: wobbly balance and unsteadiness walking. Until my neuropathy, I’d not heard of the B6 “controversy.” Like so many of us, I was confused at first. In one place, I read: You must have an adequate amount of B6; in another, I’d read: Be careful because B^ can be toxic (mimicking neuropathy symptoms)! When my neurologist prescribed a “medicinal food” called EB-N5, telling me it would help keep my B6 load up to snuff, I became even more confused––and a bit alarmed (Why would my neurologist want me to take something with added B6 if B6 is toxic?) He was the one who first explained to me (also @johnbishop) that B6 comes in two distinct “flavors: pyridoxal phosphate, which is water soluble and non-toxic (what I’m getting in my EB-N5), and pyridoxine hydrochloride, which the body can over-accumulate and is toxic (the B6 we find in all of our favorite supplements). I used to take a host of supplements. I’ve since stopped taking supplements containing the potentially toxic B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) and sticking only to my EB-N5 with its non-toxic pyridoxal phosphate. The best news? I feel pretty good except for unsteady standing and my silly way of walking.

I wish you success as you learn more about your own neuropathy. And again, Welcome to Connect!

Cheers!
