B-6 At high levels can cause nerve damage. Do you have Neuropathy?? Anyway all B's are water soluble which means every time you urinate you loose B vitamins including B-6, So drink lots diuretics (water,tea,coffee etc)Unless you are showing symtoms of neuropathy i dont see a problem with continuing to take your B's. harry!

Hi Harry, Thanks for writing, well I had burning in feet, legs and hands before I started the B vitamins, and I did research showing it helps burning etc. ( neuropathy) I have some form of neuropathy the neurologist is trying to figure out where its coming from..I have a herniate disk in my cervical spine c5c 6 and a bulged disk c4c5 so they say it desn't have to do w/ this..then they tested for autoimmune etc. and all negative thus far..I have High b6 so they took me off my B's for now..and I'm burning so bad since I went off them I think they helped me..ohwell...

Hey Lena , although this is not the Neuropathy post, you mentioned here that they have tested you for autoimmune. Did they tell you that to really know if your Neuropathy is Autoimmune you'll need to have a Spinal Fluid sample. I'm in remission of my Autoimmune Neuropathy and doing just fine but thats how they found the source of my problem. Just thought i pass it along. Cheers! harry

Hi Harry, well I did read that about the spinal tap, and I also heard it hurts like heck..ouch! I am getting a bloodtest done this mon for cryoglobulins( abnormal proteins) in the blood...so we'll see...I also have an EMG on wed morning...What kind of auto immune did u have? also did you have burning etc? I really am getting depressed over it its been 8 month and no answers and its still here off and on ...comes and goes very strange thing...I have no idea what it is but I wish to god it would go away..I'm in my early thirties and this is terrible living w/ esp cause I'm usually so active and this just takes the life out of me..
Thanks for writing harry!!
