Many studies echo this:
Everyone is different. The only way you will find answers to your particular situation is to stop all B6 intake for several months, and see if your PN improves (studies say it does for toxicity). If not, the other factors may be present for you.
I have used P5P 50mg for almost a decade and never had any problem but instead have had nice improvement in my carpal tunnel issues. |
mrsD,
Thanks for all of your input. I am going to stop all B6 intake (both the 25 mg P5P and the 18 mg embedded in the multi-vit) for a number of months and see if the PN improves.
I may also move forward with the lumbar stenosis surgery as it is becoming harder and harder to live with and who knows, perhaps it is contributing to the PN as my neurosurgeon believes and not totally ruled out by Johns Hopkins.
