At our local Health store there are naturopathic doctors that give B12, B6, B1 and other shots. I was getting them probably once a month for a year or so, and in September when the discomfort started, I thought I was deficient because signs of deficiency of B6 and B12 can be neuropathy, so i just assumed i was low and got the shots every 2 weeks. I was also taking the supplements but thought i was just peeing them out since they are water soluble. I even told my whole story to the Naturopathic doctor and he thought the B12 and B6 would help.
My B6 came back 206. upper limit is 120. My B12 was 1400!! Upper limit is 800. I was having severe neuropathic pain, cramping, couldn't sleep because of the pain, and very irritable for almost 2 months. When my levels were drawn I hadnt had a shot in a week and a half because i was in costa rica, and wasnt really taking my supplements on my trip. I can only imagine what my true levels were when i was having my most severe nerve pain. And right after injections.
The tingling and discomfort in my legs is lessening everyday, I can tell my levels are dropping. Im going to call my doctor tomorrow and find out when she wants me to be re-drawn. My last levels were drawn 2 weeks ago and I stopped all supplements a week and a half ago.
