Hello, You need complete lab review by your surgeon. IT would also be important not to assume that any symptom that is new is somehow related to the DS.

I do have neuropathy issues, hair loss as well as having elevated liver enzymes and numbness/tingling in my fingertips. Should I be concerned and what should I do. My pcp does not know much about DS so I feel at a loss.

I appreciate your insight here.

The long answer is that it appears that there is a large gap between the upper end of the normal range and the lever where potential toxicity may occur. On the clinical side, it is not uncommon to see patients with elevated B6 level, or 40-70, but rarely are any patients presenting with signs of B6 toxicity.
Thank you

If I read this correctly the majority of people are safe at levels of 100mg a day of B6 according to this section in the blog – "The daily U.S. no adverse effects dose is set at a max of 200mg daily. The daily recommend max limit is 100mg daily. ". Is that correct?
I wonder/worry, along with a few other people, about the added B6 in products – especially the Kirkland calcium citrate that has 10mg B6 per 500mg calcium. FOr a standard daily calcium dose of 1500-2000mg this would be an additional 30-40mg of B6 and that should be OK. Am I understanding that correctly?
Thanks,
Pete Apostle
