B-complex may contain B6 - so too much of that is a bad thing..........
Found this online:

"-----------Vitamin B6 Overdose

People taking large dosages of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) on a regular basis for an extended period of time should be aware that problems can arise. There is a potential for damage to your nerves, but in most cases it is reversible.

Symptoms that you will notice first with a vitamin B6 overdose are numbness and tingling in the hands and feet.

You may also notice a loss of manual dexterity and your balance may be a bit wobbly.--------------"

Daniella, Prediabetes is when the blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.
Normal fasting blood glucose is below 100 mg/dl. A person with pre-diabetes has a fasting blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dl. If the blood glucose level rises to 126 mg/dl or above, a person has diabetes.

I think is best served by eating FAT... good fats that is.

People who lose weight thru dieting (bariatric surgery) and/or eating disorders develop what is called "slimmer's paralysis"...which is nerve damage due to
poor fat nutrition.

There are 9 calories in fat/gram compared to 4 for sugar and protein.
So eating good fats in quantity will help you gain faster.
Nuts ( a good source of magnesium and unsaturated fats)
and you can do the new peanut butter now (Smart Balance) with its 1 gram of Flax oil in each serving.
Smart Balance spreads ... instead of butter
Smart Balance Mayo... are all good choices and taste good.

Avocados--are very good... some guacamole sounds like fun to me!

Thanks. Thats funny I was just eating a pb sandwich made with that new omega 3 spread. Its good. Anyhow I'm freaking because for 3 months its been only the left leg and now yesterday and today my right was has similar pain not as severe as the other one but very painful. I wish it was Mon so I can call the neuro.About being on your legs with this issue I feel like it aggravates it and some days I just can't get out of bed like I said but I see here how movement is important but doesn't it make the symptoms worse?Is anyone here on meds? I'm suppose to start elavil. I had tried nurontin,cymbalta and lyrica with all bad side effects. Thats what I thought too about diabetes and though I have other symptoms I feel are similar my blood sugar is normal. I'm going to ask the neuro tomorrow about my b12 and the foot/ankle on tues who told me to take the bcomplex but for now have stopped it.See every doc tells me something different. Too many opinions.

Daniella:

Don't be surprised if, when you tell your neuro about the B-12, he or she looks at you like you have two heads.

Doctors DON'T GET THE B-12 thing. You'll be lucky if your neuro says "oh, it can't hurt you, so go ahead".

But if your neuro says "wow, that's a great idea", wrap up your neuro like a christmas present!!!

Lots of good advice, of course. Great place and people.

Regarding the B12: Stopping for a week will allow you to get some idea (not an accurate indicator) where your stores might be now. Make sure the doc doesn't think that stopping for a week will show where you were before you started taking B12. Not true at all.

Thanks. Well I have to call my neuro today because the other leg that has been just sore slightly from what I thought pressure due to the damaged leg is really painful and I'm fearing its going to get like the other. Melody there is no way my neuro will say that. Its funny cause he made a mistake and I wanted him to say he did. I was like I know docs make mistake but then I got nothing. I think docs take a course to not say sorry. Anyhow he is suppose to be one of the best. I have just seen him a few but had a few phone calls too.
The think with waiting a week is he didn't order new blood work and just told me to wait a week which I assumed meant to start again. So to recap. B complex pill forget and b12 pill of how many mg is what I want?I think I will wait a week anyhow. Also I'm going to ask that # of my b12.
