B-6 vitamin danger!

B6 toxicity is almost always B6 hidden in foods and supplements. Finding out where and stopping consumption is step one.
It’s fairly new here is Australia (2020 it started getting recognised). There are quite a few medical papers on line but you have to go hunting - there is also a lot of rubbish.
I find I have more information than my GP but at least he is supportive and I go for blood tests every month.
I have only been on the journey for 5 months. I’m currently in ‘dip’ for no apparent reason. I’m hoping it’s a sign if repair activity.
Once you get blood serum levels (of B6) in the normal range it must then come out of your cells. The nerves that have been damaged must regrow their myalin sheath and vasodilation will occur. This a causes cramping in the muscles.
Drink a lot of water. Low dose regular magnesium.
Inflammation (if you have other injuries) hinders the process, so any anti- inflammation is helpful.
Exercise is important but keep it regular and gentle to avoid inflammation.
Avoid sugar as that can also cause inflammation.
I’m still learning. I get terrible fatigue but I figure my body is working hard so I give it as much rest as it needs. I’m a 73yo female with access to fresh food and good health care. I consider myself very lucky.
I read and research but take time for lots of distractions. I hope my body is repairing and I don’t want to do anything to make its job harder. Sometimes less is more.
Good luck to all on this journey.

Thank you so much for all of your good information and wish you all the best in your recovery.

I been looking for a vitamin that doesn’t have b6 in it. Hard to find plus there seems to be b6 in so many vegetables and fruits. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks
