I can only imagine what my b6 levels were like when I was experiencing that awful neuropathy through my brain and body. I've just gt my test results bk with a b6 level flagged high at 50.9. I wasn't taking b6 supplements at all its like wth,how does this happen ? It's a water soluble vitamin so it'll go away in time. My question is how can your b6 be sky high without supplements??

Bartonella.

It doesn't go away, because the bacteria will make more.

I had high B6 too.

Nutritional yeast perhaps - do you eat that frequently?
I have it on my popcorn.
Plus I was taking a B complex too.

I didn’t retest again.

Interesting!!
Are you saying that Bb/Bartonella naturally increases Vitamin B6 Levels??
Early on, before I was formally diagnosed, my Neurologist flagged high B6 Levels on one of my many blood tests
he ran on me.
That would explain a lot to me.........

Borrelia burgdorferi is not known to produce B6.

However, Bartonella genome sequence reveals a vitamin B6 synthesis pathway...

My LLMD didn't seem too concerned when the B6 showed up on my lab report, but he admitted that he sees high vitamin B6 in a lot of his patients.

interesting stuff Quin

it makes me wonder if the bartonella are aggregated on the nerves - as suggested by this confocal laser microscopy expert used by Dr M - Dr Marna Ericson

and producing B6 in excess right there - then that could be a mechanism that leads to the peripheral and central neuropathies so many of us suffer with - as you could reason that the B^ concentrations would be highest right where the nerves are.

Huh I’m not sure they measured my b6 but I get sick when I take it so I tend to avoid it. Good to see you mednerd.

Thanks, I'm glad to be back. I've been taking a break from the forums. The doctor never mentioned that high b6 can be bart. Would the llmd mentioned this?? Dr. SP office doesn't doesn't seem to be knowledgeable or even mention things like this. I wonder if I bring it up and ask the nurse, what her reaction would be. My neuro asked me if I'm taking b supplements or drinking energy drinks, protein drinks etc. Which I'm not. I was popping loads of chlorella and did happen to read they're full of vit b's as well. I stopped taking chlorella and haven't had any burning in about 2 months. Also dr. Sp hasn't even started me on any meds and haven't even reached out for 2 months , how unprofessional.
