Body making too much Vitamin B6

Posted by granolamama @granolamama, Feb 15, 2019

I had many labs done this week in an attempt to figure out why I am dealing with chronic muscle and joint pain, and severe exhaustion and weakness. The results came back showing that my B6 (normal range is 2-20) is 116. I do take one supplement each evening, and my doctor said it’s far less than she even takes, and in no way would account for such a number. She is completely confused, saying she has never seen such a thing, and couldn’t even come up with any info on it. She will spend some time meeting with other doctors this weekend to brain storm.
I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this, or has any info. I am googling like a mad woman, and the only info I can find is about people taking too much B6 in supplement form, and the dangers of it in their system. Nothing whatsoever about a person’s body making too much. Ideas?

Your body does not make B vitamins you get it from food and supplements it is water soluble Do you have good kidney function ?

I thought I read where your body makes some but maybe I'm wrong but i don't take any vitamins except B12 but having intestinal issues might have autoimmune issue with the colon or small intestines so maybe I'm not absorbing the B6 and that's why it's building up in my system having all kinds of sharp nerve like pains all over the midsection shoulders hips arms legs they can't figure it out I'm a autoimmune poster child then had cancer cells in polyp removed in December so who knows what i have.
