This remains a gray area in vitamin testing. Serum testing is always less accurate than cellular testing, because cells can rupture and spill contents into the serum causes false highs.
Potassium also can be affected this way.

If you eat any enriched foods, then you can be getting B6 that way as well.

None of the studies I've looked at which reported very high B6 side effects ever noted the actual number on the abstracts. So we don't really know if your level is worrisome or not.
I had started the Methyl B12, and a few times a week took R-Lipoic Acid. Also, for a brief period, Benfotiamine (B1) because of having read some articles about the possibility of regenerating damaged nerves using these vitamins/ supplements. Do you think taking these may help the process or regenerating the damaged nerves?
