Hi again....
I am not a diabetic as far as I know and my blood sugar levels were normal. Here's the B Complex info: Members Mark (Sam's Club brand) Thiamin B1 50mg Riboflavin B2 50mg Niacin 50mg Vitamin B6 50mg Folic Acid 400mcg Vitamin B12 50mcg - Doesn't specify specific type of B12 Biotin 50mcg Pantothentic Acid 50mg Other Supplements: Glucosamine - 1500 mg Omega -3 Fish Oil - 1700 mg Flaxseed Oil – 200 mg Vitamin C w/Rose Hips - 1000 mg Vitamin E – 1000 I.U. Co Q10 – 400 mg Ginko Biloba – 60mg Green Foods – Complex Niacinamide – 500 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg - Just started taking this today Cholestar K-27 Caps, 2caps/3xday for reducing Cholesterol Contents: Chromium - 50 mcg Inositol Hexanicotinate - 375 mg Red Rice Yeast extract - 175 mg Garlic extract – 100 mg Pantethine – 50 mg Although I have no problems exercising which includes riding a stationary Lifecycle for 12 minuts, today I had problems driving for the first time since my feet started burning last week. I can drive for a bit, but then it becomes hard to press the pedals with my right leg because it becomes weak and my toes cramp up, especially in heavy traffic. I had to put my car in park at traffic lights to rest my leg/foot, but even then it was hard to get back home. |

I think it is unlikely that 50mcg a day of B12 would put you so high.
Echos has a point however, about your B6 intake. The only way to isolate this problem is to discontinue the Complex and only use the B12 separately. Red Yeast rice works like statins. It contains statin-like chemicals, and we know statins can cause PN. Each of these supplements varies in how much statin-like actions are present, depending on the quality of extract used by each manufacturer. Riding bicycles move the ankle alot. If you have any tarsal tunnel entrapement issues or arthritis, you can aggravate the nerves with this form of exercise. I have scar tissue from a surgery on my left instep, and the bikes always aggravated pain in that foot for me. Your foot burning can be due to many things, in other words.

Could it be possible that my B12 levels are high because the body isn't absorbing B12 for some reason? If so, what could possibly cause that to happen? Is there a specific test that can be done to check B12 absorption rate?
I'll stop the B-complex and just take B12 as suggested and see what happens. The burning in my feet seems to be less now, but my right leg is still weaker than the left. Thanks for all your help and support! 8-) |

B12 levels cannot become high, if you are not absorbing.
They can become high if your kidneys are not excreting it. So some studies show high B12 levels when no supplements are taken, as kidney related. High levels of B12 with no supplements, may occur with some leukemias, or some intestinal dysbioses (infections with certain B12 forming organisms). These are pretty uncommon and not usually found with a B12 screen.
