Vitamin B6 Toxicy Symptoms

Hi
I have been reading all the posts on b6 toxicity over the past few months. After switching my multivitamin this past summer, I developed all kids of strange symptoms. Saw a neurologist, had full MRIs, Echo, and blood work and the only thing that came up was high b6 at almost twice the upper limit. The thing is that most of my symptoms are on the right side of my body, so the neurologist is skeptical about the b6 toxicity diagnosis. The symptoms are:
- right foot feels tingly and there is a strange nerve sensation on the outside of my right leg.
- sometimes sciatica like pain on right side
- right hand feels tingly and a bit stiff
- right forearm feels as if there is a plastic wrap around it and tingling/pain in elbow
- neck, shoulder, back pain on right side. feels like tight muscles
- heart palpitations, lighthead
- electric shock sensations in fingertips (bilateral)

I do get similar sensations on the left side but to a much lesser extent. Also, have been off the b6 for 4 months and symptoms persist, very annoying! I was wondering if there are other people out there who have similar symptoms from b6 and have them predominantly on one side of their body. The right side is my dominant side.

Thanks so much! K.
