Default VERY High B6 Levels -> mrsD?

Hey all.

I still don't know exactly what to write here, but I was hoping the resident expert "mrsD" could help answer.

I have been experiencing significant symptoms for the past 2-3 years. Mainly: significant fatigue, all over muscle soreness, significant leg pain (when standing or walking), as well as diagnosed peripheral neuropathy in my legs. I also have notable anxiety and depression.

I have seen a ton of doctors, and over the last 2 months I have really been looking into lyme disease, but keep testing negative. I know the tests aren't accurate and it should be a clinical diagnosis, and was willing to accept this.

HOWEVER.... I just find out today that my vitamin b6 levels are off the charts (toxic). The range is 20-96 nmol/L, mine is 335 nmol/L! I don't take any large B6 supplements, just whatever is in my multivitamin (5mg per day). I understand B6 is also in food.

I looked up symptoms of Vitamin B toxicity, and sure enough, it matches a lot of my symptoms (by the way is there a complete list of B toxicity symptoms anywhere?).

I have read a parasite can cause this... Any idea on how to test for this? What parasites to test for?

I also have the MTHFR C677T mutation (+/-), hetero? But not the "other mthfr mutation". Im told this can affect detoxification etc....

At this point im so confused what to do.... I have NO idea how my b6 levels got so high. It doesn't seem like there is anything to "take" to lower them..

Any ideas?
