B-6 vitamin danger!

Hi Margot! You also have leg braces? I haven't known anyone else with leg braces for neuropathy. I wear the Allard braces called The Blue Rocker. I've had them for about 3 years.

I could not believe what they did for me! I put on the 'sample' brace and immediately I could walk, turn around and walk back. It was a miracle, truly.

I wear the braces every day, but still needed a walker eventually since I have balance problems related to my neuropathy and the braces didn't completely solve that problem.

I often see others with serious problems, using canes and other assistive devices, but not braces. I always want to 'say something' about my own braces, but I don't, since I have no idea exactly what their walking problems are, or what they've already tried.

Regards, ElaineD

I have worn a leg brace on my left leg for over a month and it has been a blessing. No more cane! I have a drop foot condition and tripped regularly until I got the brace.

@elained, @margottaylor and @jimbotch -- I went to a Minnesota Neuropathy Association meeting a couple of years ago and Dr Lars Oddsson shared the story about Walkasins, the first wearable sensory prosthesis to help balance and mobility in individuals with peripheral neuropathy. Sole inserts measure foot pressure and gentle tactile vibrations provide balance cues around the lower leg. He shared the story of how it was developed and how it helped a man with diabetic neuropathy gain his life back. Really interesting technology.

Thanks John.

Hi, Lynn, I have neuropathy on my arms and feet. Would like to try CBD oil capsules and oinment. Where do you buy them?

I was told to take b100 for my nerve damage which was caused by the anastrozole . It has helped me but still have problems with my hands at least twice a week compared to everyday . I have been taking it for about a month

I would be cautious of supplements/herbs etc. unless you have checked with places like ConsumerLab or Labdoor to make sure they are not contaminated and the labels accurately identify what is in the container so you know what you using. Always check for interactions. These labs also check contents of Kefir and yogurts and protein powders etc. I purchased the ConsumerLab membership and they do have CBD oil explanations as well as approved and not approved. There is CBD oil and there is hemp oil supplements and lotions. One example that was tested and approved is Bluebird Botanicals Hemp Classic 6X Concentrated and Plus CBD oil hemp softgels are just a couple but be aware that they do not provide high doses used clinically.

Be sure to check that the B vitamin you are taking is really a B vitamin. Be sure it is GMP or NSF certified or third party tested. Not all B is the same.

That is not a toxic dose.

Hello, I was told I had peripheral neuropathy after a back surgery that never seemed to help. The neurologist I saw for about a year moved out of state but never suggested anything so now I am just going to my regular doctor. In the past 5 years it has been about the same it starts in my toes and then my feet ankles and shins burn some. This is mostly in the evening before bedtime. I walk on a treadmill regularly and sometimes I don't feel the pins and needles. Since I have a sleep disorder I take a prescribed sleeping pill that I take with the pm tablet. After about an hour the pins and needles stop and if I am awake I get very hungry. My doctors advise is only to keep walking. I can't say my neuropathy has gotten worse as I was told it would. Although I dislike the pain and discomfort maybe I am lucky. I have tried some CBD oil orally but can't say it helped. Perhaps I should try something topical ? Here in Missouri we can't take anything with any THC unless prescribed. Any suggestions ? Jerrys
