Looking for people who have high levels of B6 trigger neuropathy.

Posted by margesil @margesil, Nov 27, 2024

Two years ago I experienced a number of different symptoms that I thought were disconnected…nausea, heartburn, walking off balance, burning/ pinprick pain in feet, numbness. Found they were, in fact, symptoms of B6 toxicity. Requested bloodwork to test my theory, despite doctors skepticism. Level was at 72! ( norm near 10) I changed supplement so B6 was only 4 mg. Tried to cut down foods high in B6 , but found it difficult, as they were most easily digestible. After 6 months, B6 gradually came down, meds helped with digestive issues, lost 30 lbs. Unfortunately, the neuropathy has remained. I recently found myself with more wobbly gait, some sensitivity to light, just feeling off. Bloodtest showed B6 creeping back up, now 32. Has anyone found a reason for why B6 absorption may be problematic, if supplementation is not a cause?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

my case similar symptomology except B6 staying WNL as long as no Mg supplements. My main continuing issue is the wobbly gait. I've had vestibular tests; all normal. Has anyone found a successful therapy for the wobbly gait??
