@chme, I moved your questions about neuropathy and levels of B6 to this related and recent discussion:

I encourage you to click the link and read previous posts. You'll also be able to connect with @patriciaschulz1950 @ray666 @johnbishop @dbeshears1 @zav @bb0753 who have relevant experiences, knowledge and references.
Chme, is your doctor concerned about your B6 level?

Hello, @chme. I'd be happy to talk to you about my experiences with B6, although, in terms of insight, I'm still somewhere between a new PN patient's ignorance and a veteran PN patient's reasonable understanding. My neurologist invited me to take the "medicinal food" known as EB-N5, which contains B6 in its water-soluble form, pyridoxal phosphate (the non-toxic form, as I've been assured), unlike the potentially toxic form, pyridoxine hydrochloride, found in supplements (although normally in small doses). I've been taking EB-N5 for 8-9 months, and although I still have balance problems as my only PN symptom (no pain), it hasn't worsened. If you've questions, I'm happy to try giving my best answers. Best of everything to you!

I wish I had someone who understands this issue better.
I have good B12 levels and B1 levels but high B6. 66.2
I’ve found a b supplement without b6 and just started taking. It’s from Desert Harvest. B complex without b6.
Will wait to retest blood level for 6 months. Seems to be a good deal of at least references to b6 toxicity but no information on what a blood level for toxicity would be.
Thank you.
