So my new doctor (who ROCKS!) has dx'ed me with B6 deficiency (holy crow i spelled it right!) and wants me to research them.
So I did and the response i have is...HUH??? i have an illness that affects chinese women and undernourished people from third world countries??? I am as cuacasian as you get and live in Tampa Bay Florida...what??? There are apparently only about 200,000 people in the US who have B6 problems and it seems to be exclusively due to diet.
Thats very much a concern to me because I went immediately to the nutrtion website and...well.. i eat most of those things...several times per week.
I know it seems like this has nothing to do with chronic pain but work withme on this:
b6 apparently causes 9among other things) weakness, inflamation, depression, irritability, limb weakness, and a whole cud load of other scarier stuff.
So all of these thngs have been "in my head" for the last couple of doctors (despite the fact that the labs from back then showed this problem...malpractice???) and could be increasing the pain, etc....
This is too wierd...
