A lot of B6 toxicity symptoms are pretty mild so they could be easy to miss. I had tingly digits and sore thumb/big toes. Seemed like gout. Dropped my high strength B supplement and it went away.

My mum was having a bunch of weird nervous system issues. I saw an article about B6 toxicity so I checked the supplement she was taking. It had something like 20x the RDI.
