Hello @channelcat33 - I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @athenalee and other members. If you are taking any daily vitamins you might want to check them as a source of too much B6. You can find more information on B6 here:

Vitamin B6 - Health Professional Fact Sheet: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB6-HealthProfessional/

Here's some more information - "Jan 15, 2021 — Can vitamin B6 be harmful? People almost never get too much vitamin B6 from food or beverages. But taking high levels of vitamin B6 from supplements for a year or longer can cause severe nerve damage, leading people to lose control of their bodily movements." -- Vitamin B6 - Consumer - Office of Dietary Supplements - NIH: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB6-Consumer/

Did your doctor have any suggestions to help you lower the B6 levels?

Having had a B6 level of 505 and now back to normal; does genetics play a role in why some people retain more of it rather than eliminating it?
