Here are some things I've noticed:
- At 3 weeks I started feeling pulsing in my feet. This did differ from the previous tingling/burning sensations. It's a sign of healing I've been told. I only felt the pulsing for a day or so, but felt lessening tingling sensations after that.
- At ~4 weeks I could stop taking 1/2 of a Benedryl at night to sleep.
- My neuropathy symptoms (for me tingling/burning in feet and hands) worsened dramatically upon eating a gluten-free pancake. I did this at 3 1/2 weeks. Since I was feeling better, I wanted to see if I could eat food containing more B6. It felt like I re-injured myself upon doing this. Like the level became toxic at that point, killed some new nerves, that will take another 3 weeks to heal. I don't know whether this is true or not....there is so little readily-available information out there on B6 toxicity.
- I read that alcohol inhibits the absorption of B6. Although wine itself does contain some B6 (what doesn't!), I drink some if I'm feeling increased neuropathy symptoms, after ingesting something. I use 1/2 glass, maybe, of organic red wine. I believe it helps. Wish I'd taken some after I'd eaten that pancake! I don't believe that some alcohols, like vodka, contain any B6. I'm not, however, much of a shot drinker. Note: I've also personal accounts by others, with B6 toxicity, suggesting that alcohol may be helpful.
- Emotionally I've been down down down since this began. It makes sense, given the role of B6 in the body. I'm losing weight and my hair has noticeably been turning more gray. I feel I'm walking a on a tightrope. Damned if I eat food and dammed if I don't. Since this blog entry is titled "progress?", I'll say that I checked out several vegetarian cookbooks from the library the other day. And am currently trying out some of the recipes. Very mediocre results thus far-but then I've always hated cooking.
- "Saw" an intuitive healer. I've now started on a recommended protocol. Have no idea if it has anything to do directly with B6 toxicity...
I have being on blog Sites for a while now and today I felt like I should share my story because I was a victim too. I had HIV for 6 years and i never thought I would ever get a cure I had and this made it impossible for me to get married to the man I was supposed to get married to even after 2 years of relationship he broke up with me when he finds out I was HIV positive. So I got to know about Dr. Itua on Blog Site who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got a cured and let her contact details, I contacted Dr. Itua and he actually confirmed it and I decided to give a try too and use his herbal medicine that was how my burden ended completely.

ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I've been out to this blog, that I created. Thought I'd just give my status. Generally speaking, it seemed to take ~7 months for my B6 toxicity symptoms to disappear. The bottoms of my feet, however, felt more sensitive when standing for long periods of time, for years afterward.
ReplyDeleteSymptoms-wise, I also experienced a similar issue once, years later, when I ate a batch of home-made bone broth. Although it was organic and grass-fed beef, it was grain finished. Unsure if it was contaminated or not. Never tried making it again. Over time I've also realized that I don't handle sulfates especially well.
Unfortunately I lost track of Susan (the other original poster of this blog), so can't provide any updates on how she is doing.
