I wouldn't worry about it.

Here is my B6 thread:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread30724.html
Lots of information gathered on that thread.

What did your doctor say? Isn't he the one who told you to take
that dose?

It was the podiatrist who advised me to take B6 for a foot Mortons Neuroma. After taking that dose (100mg) for 3 weeks is when I developed the PN symptoms (random nerve zaps & stings, random itching). These symptoms continued and then I stopped taking the B6 and had a blood test 2 weeks later. That blood test showed the 25.7 and that was 2 weeks worth of not taking B6.

According to my doctor my B6 levels were probably in the 30+ when I was taking the B6 pill. After 2 weeks of not taking the B6 the blood work showed the 25.7. The theory by my doc is that for my levels to be that high (25.7) after not taking it for 2 weeks means most likely that while taking it I was well over 30+ or maybe 40+.

Without knowing what my B6 levels were prior to taking the B6 supplement, it's hard to judge what my levels were. When I was tested 3 weeks ago my B12 levels were 870. After taking Methyl B12 (2-3 times a week at 5,000mg), my levels are now 1,170

Maybe my body just is very efficient in storing B12 and B6 and any additional supplementation builds up really fast and in the case of B6, could it have caused my PN?
