Dear Friends,

I have been reading your comments for some time and today I decided to share my situation and ask you for some help. I am Spanish, so I will try to explain myself as well as I can.

Around three years ago I started with some health issues at the end of my pregnancy. Several things occurred at the same time, that can be summarised as follows:

- Tachycardia
- Digestive problems
- Neurological issues (paresthesias, ..... )
- A bit of anxiety, depression, fear....


Since then I started a long way, with some news (I have positive antinuclear antibodies compatible with those from lupus), low levels of iron, vitamin d, platelets and many other things....

I have been two years on a gluten, dairy, soya and corn free diet and I eat now extremely healthy. Many of my issues have been solved slowly... but the neurological issues have not been solved. I still feel them, specially in my legs and sometimes in my arms and head, and I describe them as if the covering of my nerves would be destroyed and I would feel electricity flowing through them.

I also have some strange feelings that are similar to the sensations when sugar levels go up and down, like being a bit sick. I usually say that they are like electrolite levels going up and down.

I sometimes feel that I have to get used to these neurological strange sensations, but from time to time I follow my "research" to try to "solve" it all.

I have visited many doctors, and also orthomolecular ones, and taken small amounts of supplements. I was prescribed with methyl-B12 and B-50 but I took little amounts since I have strange neurological feelings after taking them and I am very sensitive to supplements.

I have recently had two analysis. One was an urine analysis: urinary organic acids. I have several asterisks there and one of the strange things that we found is a high level of pyridoxate, the catabolite of B6.

I have been reading posts from MrsD regarding this topic and although I have a chemistry background I am not sure if I understand them properly.

At the time all this started to me , three years ago, I had some elevation of the liver enzimes (now they are fine). I understood from your posts that some liver damage leads to some problems to deal correctly with B6, and that this could explain why my pyridoxate level is high (my liver might not be working properly). But, considering this, what should I do? Take some form of B6 that could be more easily assimilated by the liver/body?

Thank you all very much for reading this and for your help. I think that help from someone who suffers similar things is very useful.

A big kiss from sunny Spain.
