Natural high levels of B12 and B6

I have been being worked up for a possibly neurological disease, as I’ve had a lot of neuropathy, the entire right side of my body has less sensation of touch even.
My b vitamins have been high for maybe 2 years, labs from yesterday came back at b12 1,265 & b12 144.5
I’ve tried having past doctors re check these vitamins but they wouldn't.. finally switched to a new pcp who did. I don’t take any b supplements & don’t drink energy drinks often..
my family & friends thought I had MS wonder if it’s been the b vitamins this whole time..
only time will tell I suppose

Hello @baileynichole97, Welcome to Connect. It's great to hear you finally have a PCP that listens and is working with you to figure out what is going on. You mentioned the entire right side of your body has less sensation. I thought I would share this article in case you haven't already seen it to see if anything sounds similar.

You might also be interested in what other members have shared with similar symptoms. Here's a search of Connect that lists the discussions and comments for numbness on one side of body - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=numbness%20on%20one%20side%20of%20body.
Have you thought about getting a referral from your PCP for a neurologist or specialist for additional testing and diagnosis?

Two months ago my neuropathy got much worse. This is the time I switched to a different multi-vitamin. After reading the information on Connect about B6 being very bad for neuropathy, I checked the amount on my new multi-vitamin. It was over 1000%DV. I also had myB6 amount tested and it was very high.
I have now switched back to my original multi-vitamin which is still high in B6 while I await shipment of my new multi-vitamin which contains no B6. Since I am a vegan, I do need B12.
