Hello
I’ve been having pricking pins and needles sensation for the past three months in my hands and legs. All blood tests came back normal except for B6 which was elevated. Doctor asked me to stop it. I’ve been taking acid reflux medicines for many years now. Especially Dexilant. Could this be causing it? I stopped my multi vitamins that had b6 in it. Would love to hear from people who’ve had similar experiences. Thanks much.

Anybody Try Tens? My feet are so numb I can't feel the spiking even at the highest setting. Thanks

Have you consulted your doctor about this suspicion?

I really don't know! My doctor took me off of a medication too for G.E.R.D., which I think it did not help my neuropathy. It was
Omeprazole 20mg in the A.M.
I think you have an excellent questions because so many meds can affect nerve damage, especially in your feet first! I sure hope some can answer this question. I am an amateur and feel I can't answer this question, Although, my Neurologist, suggested my neuropathy can be attributed to some of my numbness. Plaquenil for my Lupus.
Hope this helps someone! Good Luck! Pat K.
