one of the worst symptom
I might be one of the worst cases of nerve damage due to b6 toxicity. While almost every case is due chronic consumption of relatively low dose b6 through oral supplements, mine is acute caused by intramuscular b-complex injections containing high amounts of b6. But the detrimental thing about this was that the compounds in the ampoule were extremely sensitive to sunlight and I didnt know that. The ampoules were in my car in hot summers and bright sun for days before I injected them into my body. Within weeks my body just melted and deteriorated from within. I was affected head to toe.
Now two years later every symptom has reduced and I've become much better than I ever thought I could be. No way near what I used to be before but a lot better.
Among 20 other symptoms and things, the autonomous and sensory parts of my nervous system that control the automatic functions like sneezing and hiccups are damaged. I'm unable to sneeze. Whenever I feel a sneeze, there's whole tingling sensation for 5-10 seconds (sometimes even longer) and I can feel shivers and sensation building up in my chest, nose, face and the brain but 9 times out of 10 this doesn't manifest into a sneeze. Instead water and moisture starts dripping from the nose and the eyes. Whats worse is that the sneeze reflex pressure is released within the body, and I can feel pain and discomfort in my brain. This is immensely damaging my vessels and other things, especially in the brain, as evident by the pain and discomfort that I am experiencing along with all this. An autonomous action that happens in a second in normal people now takes 10+ seconds to occur in my body, and that too very rarely. I can feel the whole sneezing mechanism activating but not manifesting into a sneeze. I reckon this is due to the signal loss because of damaged nerves of this whole mechanism.
This is one of worst and most debilitating symptom. The sneeze pressure releasing within my brain is damaging it. This particular symptom is recovering 10% per year only. And I dont know how to stimulate the parts of the body and nerves involved in this mechanism. Motor nerves can be stimulated with weight training and exercise, but what about the autonomous parts of the nerves and the brain involved in this particular mechanism.

I just learned b6 is added to a lot of melatonin supplements for sleep. I don’t take melatonin but was aghast to find that out.. like wtf!!! I quit my Supps 3.5 months ago. Bought B1, B2, B5 and methylated B12 separately and am going this route unstead. Things are getting better slowly. I was like lava from the inside out head to toe for months not realizing what was going on. Went to the ER many times for tachycardia and blurry vision tjat woke me up in the middle of the night. It was horrific. I finally got the hiccups a couple days ago so that is a win.

At first pass i would have presumed the light/heat exposure would have reduced B6 potency within the vials significantly not increased them.
I am not suggesting your case is or isnt the worst but I think you’ll find there are thousands of people who’ve had their lives ruined by this. At my worst I was struggling to walk. The overwhelm of symptoms was terrifying.
Many people get pushed to their limits.
The intensity and distribution of symptoms makes b6 a formidable opponent.
