Hello everyone, I just received a call from my Doctor today that blood tests taken 2 weeks ago revealed I had a B6 level of 181 he said normal should be between 20-125. A week before I had this blood test I had started taking a multiple vitamin with B6 in it, so here is my question, I have had full body SFSN for 2 years I don't remember if my B6 level was checked in the past but I have to assume that it was with all of the tests I have had in the past, so could it be that my B6 was high because I had taken a multiple vitamin containing B6 a week before my blood was drawn? Could my levels go up that high in just one week? I really don't think my B6 is the reason for my SFSN, but I will say in the past couple of weeks of taking a multiple Vitamin I have felt worse pain and burning! Ummm! Thanks for any comments. Jan

Yes, they could... Besides the levels are arbitrary...done years ago on people NOT using vitamins.

Don't let this upset you. None of the ranges are valid if you are taking vitamins when the blood is drawn. In fact some would argue they are not valid much anyway. Too low is more valid than too high. If you had NO vitamin intake, that would point to poor conversion to active pyridoxal. But even then, it would still be too difficult to evaluate.
