severe peripheral neuropathy and vitamin B6

If you’re taking B-6 then you might be doing better by using the P5P form for your PN. Has helped with my feet on fire. Treetop

Thanks Ray for the Welcome and your information on B6.

I was diagnosed with severe peripheral neuropathy after years of numbing feet.

My symptoms seemed to worsen after a non explainable seizure. With numbness in my my feet increasing up my legs with terrible pain and what felt like shocks going through my toes.

I was told that nothing could be done but to handle with medication (pregabalin). The pain is getting better with slowly increasing the dosage. I still have poor balance and can’t walk without shoes.

The reason I was looking into B6 because I researched that B6 can increase/worsen symptoms of neuropathy

We had a case here in Australia, where a man was told by his doctor to increase his B6 intake and over time lost the ability to walk. Once the reason was discovered and intake reduced, his slowly started to improve.

I will keep researching and discuss further with my doctor and neurologist(which you only get to see every 3-6 months)

Thanks again, I’m glad I discovered this forum to better understand neuropathy.

A small amount over B6 RDA can be damaging. Most Drs have no idea.

Thank you to everyone for your information. I have seizures and peripheral neuropathy due to AIDS that is nontreatable due to my resistance to all the classifications of the drugs, I swim, spin, row everyday and endure the pain but its getting worse. Hopefully cutting the vitamin 6 out might help. I take lots of multi vitamins and Eng C packages throughout the day. Thanks to all and keep moving:)
