Have you been told your nerve pain is “just stress, ageing,”… or worse, “all in your head?”You may not be imagining it.A common vitamin slowly damaged my nervous system — and no one asked about the supplements I was taking. I thought Vitamin Supplements were safe.Vitamin B6 toxicity is an often-overlooked condition that can cause peripheral neuropathy, burning feet, nerve pain, tendon stiffness and MS-like neurological symptoms — sometimes from ordinary over-the-counter supplements.In B6 Toxicity and Me, I share my personal journey from unexplained symptoms to diagnosis after unknowingly poisoning myself with vitamin B6.For years I experienced symptoms that made no sense:• Burning feet and tingling hands• Nerve pain and musculoskeletal pain• Tendon stiffness, weakness and tears• Insomnia and relentless fatigueDoctors dismissed my concerns.Specialists blamed stress, ageing and menopause.My blood tests were “normal”. Vitamin B6 is not included in routine blood testing.But my body was telling a different story.Eventually a B6-aware GP looked closely at my results and said the words that would change everything:“I think you may have vitamin B6 toxicity.”Until that moment, I had never even heard of it.In My book you’ll discover:• How vitamin B6 toxicity can mimic conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder and even MS• Why many people unknowingly develop nerve damage from common multivitamins and “stress,” supplements• The symptoms doctors sometimes overlook or misdiagnose• What to do if you suspect unexplained neuropathy symptoms• Testing, diagnosis and recovery guidance• Practical insights for patients, carers and health professionalsYou’ll also learn:• How vitamin B6 works in the body — and why too much becomes toxic• Where hidden B6 is found in foods and supplements• A symptom overview to help recognise warning signsAustralian health authorities including the Therapeutic Goods Administration now require warning labels on higher-dose vitamin B6 products due to the risk of nerve damage, and consumer health resources such as Healthdirect Australia also recognise vitamin B6 toxicity as a potential cause of neuropathy.If you’re living with burning feet, tingling hands, nerve pain or unexplained neurological symptoms, my story may help you understand what’s happening — and what to do next.Because sometimes the answer isn’t stress.Sometimes the answer is hidden in plain sight.✔ Personal story✔ Symptom guide✔ What to ask your doctor if you suspect vitamin B6 toxicityB6 Toxicity and Me offers clarity, validation and hope for anyone navigating unexplained nerve symptoms.
