Quoting Pamojja, concerning neuropathy:
Be prepared. In my case, it ceased about 1 year after stopping pyridoxine only.
Thank you for that post! Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine (PN) was indeed the cause and I immediately got off of it. But I am still suffering from it....besides the pins and needles in my feet....the shooting pains.....balance problems and loss of hand coordination skills...(can't hardly even use a pen to sign my name) it appears I get to suffer this for a long time too.....the following, in the NIH, describes my experience exactly:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8483950/
In that article (under "Clinical presentation of PN-induced neuropathy" section), I quote:
Following withdrawal from PN, symptoms often progressed before gradually improving. Dramatic improvements were usually observed within ∼6 mo; however, distal sensory perception was often diminished. During recovery, loss of vibrational sense persisted longer than with the other modalities. In those who were followed up, patients were almost fully recovered within 2–3 y
Oh goody! I get to live this hell for years,
maybe! I'm trying to learn about Edoc's DMSO. I have a P.A. son-in-law, and an E.R. Doc brother here in my New Mexico hometown, but they are not about to IV me with DMSO! They both said, "What's that?" An example of "standard of care" blinders?... that takes 10 years to change even when outdated? Geesh....I only design & build homes, but I've known about DMSO for 20 years. I just bought 2 bottles of 99.9% from Heiltropfen. Now I just need some kind of topical application protocol. Wondering if 3 parts DMSO mixed in 7 parts Distilled H20 mixed in a glass bowel is reasonable. Something to start with....applied with a sterile pad held by forceps...since I hear I shouldn't use vinyl gloves......apply to washed and dried feet?
Warning to those taking B vitamins: Once a day B complex 100 (100mg of PN) in the morning and an L-Arginine liquid supplement with a smaller amount of PN at night was all the Pyridoxine I was taking. Now....off B....not even B-12, and off L-Arg. Both those products with B-6 was "Now" brand....probably Chinese. Still taking proline, lysine, and 8g of acorbic acid powder. Still feel great heart-wise, not so great feet and balance....withstanding.
