Body making too much Vitamin B6

Hi, I am in the same situation. Male 58 225lbs. A1C 5.6-5.8 for years. In Jan 2023 I got ill with strange sensations in legs at knee level and below. After 2 months of complaining they sent me to a neurologist and in a few days they found my b6 was 111 ng/ml. I was taking a daily vitamin and my diet was super healthy salmon, chicken breast, lean beef, spinach, kale, avacado. I stopped all vitamins and went on a literal junk food diet. Sausage, luncheon meat sandwiches, bacon and egg whites. In 3 months b6 came down to 20. Minor symptoms remained in my legs, mostly around my knees. Feels weird when my clothes rub them softly. Fast forward a few weeks ago I started feeling strange again but now in my arms. I have not taken any supplements but have resumed my healthy diet. I was just tested and b6 is high again. It is 50 ng/ml. I am just wondering if it related to COVID. I had COVID October 2022 for 3.5 days (fever 102 and headache) and before COVID I was healthy and strong but all the problems started after COVID.

I guess it might be but I've noticed a lot of drinks now are loaded with vitamins but B vitamins should be water soluble and come out in the urine. But maybe we have a kidney issue where it's just not filtering enough of the extra B vitamins? or it's the food we eat. But I did notice some strange after effects from COVID as well. I also now have strange nerve things where I'll scratch my leg and I'll feel a nerve tingle on my stomach always in different areas very strange the Neurologist said it was probably from diabetes but didn't sound like he could say for certain. but anyway just dealing with it the best I can. Good luck moving forward.

I thought I was crazy, thank you!
