I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy about 1 year ago with foot and lower leg numbness plus occasional body tremors. My neurologist did a B6 test which showed that mine was too high but I was only taking 25 mg per day which is supposed to be safe. The doctor told me to immediately stop all supplements with B6. It took about 3 months but I finally got back to normal and PN went away. The P5P version of B6 is supposed to be less likely to accumulate in the body but if you happen to have the MTHFR gene mutation which as many as 40% of people of European descent supposedly do, your body absorbs too much B6 so it may not be safe to take any version of B6. Also, watch our for fortified foods like cereal because many of them had B6 added to them.
Thanks Ray for your answer. Yes I am trying various things. I thought my PN was caused by b6 toxicity since my b6 was 5x high normal from taking melatonin for 3 years that had 20mg of pyridoxine hydrochloride (the bad b6) I stopped it in January 2021 but the PN did not go away but actually has gotten some worse with feeling like I have tight compression socks half way to knees. I feel so blessed that I have no pain. Daily exercise seems to have prevented any balance issues. I am currently taking The Protocol 525 that John has spoken about. It has many vitamins but no b6. I've only taken it 1 month and plan to stay with it for at least 6 months to see if it helps. On another website some have said the P5P natural form of b6 has helped them. That's why I reached out to you to see if you could tell improvement. I hope you get healed from the sepsis very soon. Thanks again!!
