Default Please help!!

Mrs D.

I am fascinated by all of the information you have posted. My story is this: I was diagnosed with neurological lyme disease this summer. After extensive treatment, I took many vitamins to rebuild/reboost my system. Within the past two months, I started to experience neuropathy (tingling, numbness) in my hands and feet. My B6 levels were recently tested and my numbers are over 100 (no exact value was reported). Neuro cited B6 toxicity as the cause. I was taking a B-Complex vitamin daily, as well as a food-based multivitamin (I have since stopped taking both).
Fast forward to a follow up meeting with a lyme disease specialist, who suggested P5P. Is it possible I am not getting enough B6?
I am afraid of worsening the neuropathy and do not know what to do. Any advice? Should I take something? Avoid certain foods? How long will it take for neuropathy to resolve if it is, in fact, caused by B6?
The neuro has requested that I retest my blood levels after one month (this was two weeks ago).
Full disclosure -- the neuro has suggested that it is possible that I have CMT (due to my high arches).
Thank you in advance for any advice you may have. I am uncertain where else to go as this seems to be a poorly understood area.
