Please ask your doctor to check you vitamin B level - quick blood text. It is very difficult for most people on an American diet to not consume an appropriate amount of vitamin B in their diet. I am an exception since is seems that my body does not process it as well since post PMR onset. I only take about one or two B supplements per week, definitely not daily.

The good news is that vitamin B is water soluble and your kidneys will simply process the surplus out of your system. Your urine will turn bright yellow based on the amount being eliminated. Always be careful about the potential for vitamin and/or mineral overload which can be harmful. Please do research to make sure you know what normal is and where you are. Self medicating with supplements can be successful but it also can be dangerous.
