Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I'm not sure about taking more B6 unless you have a B6 deficiency as too much B6 can cause neuropathy. Lot's of discussions on the B6 topic... - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=b6%20toxicity

Have you had any labs drawn to check for vitamin B deficiency?

If I may add my two cents … I have idiopathic polyneuropathy (no pain, but lots of balance/gait issues). At my neurologist's urging, for more than a year, I've been taking EB-N5, the medicinal food that, among other supplements, carries a significant amount of B-6 – but the "friendly" kind, pyridoxal phosphate (P5P), and not P5P's wicked twin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, the sort that, if taken to excess, may aggravate or produce PN symptoms. To date (more than a year), I've detected no worsening of my PN; in fact, I'm pleased to report that my balance/gait issues have remained remarkably stable. So much for my layperson's two cents. 🙂 I'm not a physician, only a fellow with PN, like the rest of us. I wish us all well! – Ray (@ray666)
