It was over a year before I could even take a multivitamin containing B6 (just a plain women's multivitamin, nothing fancy). Unfortunately, I now do have peripheral neuropathy, but all my vitamin levels are normal, my iron is low but still in the normal range, the cause has been given as idiopathic, which is very frustrating because I just wanted to know what was causing it and be able to fix it and I can't.

I have a problem with frequent low iron too. But I donate blood every 8 weeks or so, so that could be the culprit. I take an iron pill 3 days a week. I’m trying to remember to take a vitamin daily but don’t remember too often. But I want to know the whys too and fix it.
