Thank you for your reply. I am only taking D3 vitamins. Trying to determine if I should be on Magnesium that was prescribed for me if B supplements could be the cause of PN. I’ll see my doctor next week. I am looking for any helpful information on PN due to B vitamins. And advice on what to do next. This all began in June. And I don’t still have many answers. Also. Would like information on how long it takes to get numbers down. Thanks.

Hello @notastall78, welcome to Connect. I'm sorry you've been having problems since June. Have you been officially diagnosed by a Neurologist or general practitioner? Which Dr will you see next week? I have Small Fiber Peripheral Polyneuropathy which was discovered via skin punch biopsy by my Neurologist. After the results came back for SFPN the next step was to determine my underlying cause. I had extensive blood testing and genetic testing. The work up took 2 months after which the only discovery was B12 deficiency. All lab reports slightly differ. My low B12 number was 214. I immediately began B12 injections every 2 weeks for several months. My blood and methylmelonic levels were rechecked every 3 months until I was regulated at which point I switched to oral supplementation. Low B12 or high B6 can cause neuropathy. If caught early enough, you may be able to bounce back better/quicker with less damage verses long lasting permanent nerve damage. I'm glad you're going to the Dr. for proper care and factual testing. Best of luck to you and let me know if you'd like any more info about symptoms. treatment. after effects, etc...
Be well,
Rachel
