Mrs.D Thank you for the link. And yes i'm also happy that cryoglobulins is normal.My cholesterol was ranging from 213-233, HDL from 49-50, LDL from 148-163 and my triglyceride was as high as 173 thats when they put me on Simvastatin. They switched me to Pravastatin when Simvastatin was black flap by the FDA.

Yes, it is low. You might try some P5P, which is activated form of pyridoxine to see if it helps.
This one is enteric coated which is the best, since P5P is unstable in stomach acid. http://www.amazon.com/Foods-P-5-P-Co...=pd_sbs_misc_2 I had trouble finding this brand this morning! It may be discontinued soon? I did find the identical formula made by San company. There was a FDA calling for opinions, because a Big Pharma company was making a P5P RX drug and wanted all OTC's taken off the market. I sure hope that is not the reason! One of these a day for a month, will reveal if you needed it, you should feel better on it. If no response just take it every other day or so. Sometimes labs make mistakes, esp on vitamins. They seem to not calibrate often or accurately the machines. Vit D has had a terrible past with erroneous results from Quest. Twice now.

What i might do is wait to see my Doc to see what see might recommend when i see her 3/7/13. Plus go over my mri's and what her lab found or did not find in my nerve & muscle biopsy results.

Just don't expect your doctor to know about P5P, activated vs regular pyridoxine, and enteric coating.
If your doctor agrees to some B6, do take the best one available. We get considerable B6 from fortified foods today. Being low is not typical of posters here. Not many report lows. Really low B6 causes neuropathies.
