Re: B6 warning alert etc...

[Guest guest]

Refer to our Files section on B6 (pyridoxine) and CMT. The info there from CMT

expert Dr. Parry is invaluable. B6 is to be avoided by those of us with CMT in *

megadoses * (meaning WAY too much - like if 1 is good, 10 should be better)

People with CMT taking large dosages of Vitamin B6 on a regular basis for an

extended period of time should be aware that problems can arise. There is a

potential for damage to our nerves, which we don't need. Some symptoms that you

are taking too much B6 will be increased numbness and tingling in the hands and

feet. You may also notice a loss of manual dexterity and your balance may be

worse.

P.S. , thanks for posting the meds alert. It's always a good thing

to keep reminders for ourselves.

Reading this list it made things click as to why I have such a violent and

negative reaction to anti-malarials!!!

For years whenever I take them I have awful symptoms, so I have opted for

the monitor / drink tonic water solution.

Thanks for posting this updated list,
