Hello @lbishop, Welcome to Connect. Here's some information that explains the connection between the thyroid and Vitamin B6 that might be helpful.

"Does vitamin B6 affect thyroid?
Without this vitamin, the thyroid cannot utilise its iodine raw material efficiently to make the hormones. Pyridoxine B6 is needed even more by an overactive thyroid. Muscle weakness is very common in people with an overactive thyroid and in those who are also lacking in B6."

You mentioned that you have been avoiding any supplements and trying to eat a low B6 diet. Do you drink any of the popular sports energy drinks which can be high in B6?

@johnbishop thank you for the information on B6 in regards to thyroid. I have heard that vitamin B has an impact on neuropathy but had no idea there was any connection to thyroid issues.

I noticed below posts regarding P5P not causing B6 Toxicity. This is disproven by significant research at UndersrandingB6 Toxicity.com.
