Who else has Autonomic Neuropathy?

My Neurologist told me that my neuropathy was caused by high level of B 6 in my system. That was 2 years ago. He took me off all supplements that contained B6. My B6 level dropped considerably after 6 month and stayed low. However my neuropathy is getting worse.

@dipperlip1, I'm sorry to hear the neuropathy has gotten worse after 2 years. From what I've read B6 toxicity induced neuropathy can resolve in 6 months but it may depend on how long the B6 levels were high in your system. Here's some information on the topic.
"Neuropathy from massive exposures can cause long-term disability or death. Neurologic dysfunction improves following discontinuation of vitamin B supplementation and usually resolves within six months. Jan 10, 2022" --- Vitamin B6 Toxicity: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554500/
The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy lists some alternative or complementary treatments for neuropathy -- https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/
Have you looked into any alternative or complementary treatments?

That’s awful! Doctors say the darnedest things — lol!
Its not just B6 that helps, its the B-complex along with other nutrients. I read people with RA get low in B vitamins because of low stomach acid preventing proper digestion of proteins. There are youtube doctor videos about neuropathy that give good information. If I were in your shoes, I’d experiment with taking supplements like those in Nervine. The proof is in the pudding. Its better to get vitamins from foods but I’ve recently gone vegetarian so, B12 needs to be supplemented.
