Day 14-22: Steady Improvement

I have been feeling better lately. Recently, I had a few days without any symptoms at all. Because of this, I decided to start reincorporating B6 foods back into my diet in this order:
  • leafy greens and tomatoes
  • oats, maybe brown rice
  • bananas, avocados, and potatoes
  • all cereal grains
I started the first stage a few days ago, but after a day of eating pasta sauce and salad, I noticed a return of symptoms. As such, I'm going to give B6 foods a rest for a while again. But I'm not discouraged. The symptoms were less severe than they were a couple weeks ago, and they took longer to develop, so I feel that I am definitely improving.

    Hi Thomas
    hope you have completely recovered by this time.
    will you please share your recovery time as well as your B6 level in blood found initially..
    my story so far as below.

    I am 45 years old male.
    I experience following symptoms after taking vitamin B complex supplement.
    1. Tingling all over the body
    2. Twitching all over the body predominantly legs stomach back right-side
    3. Shocking sensation in body
    4. Crawling sensation mainly in scalp and sometime on other part of body.
    5. Numbness in foot and hands. In the night both hand feeling numb.
    6. Insomnia, anxiety, stress
    7. Sharp pinning/needling sensation in body

    I was taking Neurobion (Merck )containing Vitamin -B1 100MG, Vitamin B6- 200MG ,Vitamin B12-200MCG
    I took one tablet each day for nearly 40 days. Without knowing these tablets are poisoning me each single day. I experienced symptoms on 25th day but I was thinking thease are not due to vitamin supplement. On the supplement pack it was written these tablets are good for back pain ,nerve tingling and prickling, Good Nerves health etc. I was so fool to look at this information and taking till 40th day.
    At last I consulted neurology doctor he has advised me to do following blood test.
    1. Calcium
    2. Magnesieum
    3. CK/CPK
    All above test are normal. Then nerve conduction test and EMG also normal.
    Finally doctor concluded I have binign fesuculation . he advised it comes and goes. Just ignore and asked me see psychologist.

    I was desperate and suffering all above mentioned symptoms. I searcjed in internet for possible cause and in some website it was mentioned heavy metal toxicity is the one of the cuase of ywiching and tingling in body. I gone to private lab and ordered heavy metal tosicity test for nickel, arsenic, mercury, led, zinc etc
    All me heavy metal toxicity reports came normal.
    Finally I ordered all vitamin B complex panel blood test and my vitamin b-6 level was found 212 ng/Ml (normal range is 8.7-27.2) nearly 7 times high than normal range.

    I stopped the vitamin B supplement. Today 12 th day and I have still symptoms in the body but the magnitude of the symptoms have been slightly reduced. I have no idea how much damage these vitamins have done and how long it takes to recover. now I am very careful with my diet now avoiding B6 food. Noticed whenever I eat B rich food I symtoms will increases . I ear Amaranth which has rich B6 and started numbness in foot hand and mild tingling. Burning in arms.
    In coming days I will keep update my progress of recovery.

    It is too late for me to realize dangers of vitamin supplements…

    Please share your experience of recovery . I do Sauna to sweat and 40 minutes walking but for hands upper body no exercise.
