Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy

I was recently diagnosed with PN, after having a change in gait. This was totally new to me, out of left field. My Neurologist did blood tests and found I was high in B6 as well as an MRI of cervical spine which showed some degeneration but not enough to cause the gait changes. I stopped taking B6 about 2 weeks ago and it seems like symptoms are worsening. Wondering if anyone has had this experience and did it improve over time? Many thanks for any insights.

Hi @paul14, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear that you have joined the PN club. You are not alone, there are a lot of us with varying degrees of peripheral neuropathy and other varieties and conditions. I shared my story in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/. There are a couple of other discussions on vitamin B6 that you might want to view.
--- Body making too much Vitamin B6: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/body-making-too-much-vitamin-b6/
--- B-6 vitamin danger!: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/b-6-vitamin-danger/

Did your neurologist or doctor suggest any gait training exercises or therapy to see if that might help?
