first signs recovery neuropaty

[Heimen]

Hello, this is a question from Holland. My name is Heimen, 53 year old male. I took multivits for more than 7 years. In this multi was 15 mg of B6. Maybe not very much but my bloodlevel B6 was 115 Nmol in febr. 2010. Maybe not very hig, but can this cause my neuropaty? My meds don't know anything about B6 toxicity.
Since 22 febr. I stopped using this multi's. What can I excpected if this was the cause of my neuropaty on booth feet.
Does the recovery start in the toes, which are numb at the top? Yesterday I felt some slight pain just under the edge of the nail on top of the big toe of my right foot. Very very small!!
And if B6 can causes this neuropaty, how many time does it take?

I am no diabetic and was examined for many diseases causing neuropaty. But I am healty, without finding the cause of my neuropaty.

Who can give me some answers?

Not my doctor, nor my neurologist knew thtat B6 could cause neurpaty.

Please help!!
I am very depressed and panicing.

(Sorry for my bad English)

greeting from Holland,

Heimen

Hello there, thanks for your answer. I appreciate that very much, although you made a little mistake. Although Vit B;s are water solublbe, toxicity by using multivitamins is not very rare. Cases are repported enough on the internet.

To mixedblessings: thank you very much for your support.
Blessings for you two.

Hello!
First of all, all of the B-complex vitamins are water soluble, so toxicity is extremely rare unless you are chronically dehydrated. Usually, it is the B vitamins that PREVENT or REVERSE neuropathy development as the long-term deficiency of them creates nerve and brain cell damage.
Unless you've had direct nerve damage (spinal cord injury, low back problems, crushing or cold injury to your legs, etc) neuropathy is usually caused by poor circulation whether it is caused by diabetes, liver problems, kidney problems, or vascular restriction (narrowing) or blood clot issues. Since it is in both legs, and if it just happened suddenly, I would be looking at blood vessels from your pelvis to your feet for answers. If you've had a recent illness, a possibility of mild Guillian-Barre syndrome which causes a growing loss of sensation and increasing weakness in your hands and feet could be the cause.

You see? There are so many things that could be responsible with some sort of vascular compromise from a level above your feet being the most likely cause. I hope this helps you find your answer! -Don't give up...((((((((HUGZ)))))~MM
