Why is it so difficult for people to understand how sick and toxic we are? And how long we can be sick from B6?
I’m sick of talking to people about my toxicity, they suggest it must be something else like psychologic, overtraining or even lack of b6 (this makes me mad) because I’m avoiding getting more than RDA.

I’ve stopped “wanting” people to understand my health issue. It’s their choice to choose to understand or not. I share my story, some of my symptoms, my toxicity, my dehydrating event, and leave it. I’m educating them, they may choose to listen or to not listen. It’s like dropping little seeds. If they choose to learn and grow in wisdom from my story, that’s great for them and us. If they choose not to, it’s not meant to be. I let go of my need for family and friends to respect, be curious, be compassionate, be empathic, be understanding, be available, be a listening ear, etc…to my 12 year plus health issue. It’s been a journey full of tears, disappointment, yet has made me stronger than I’ll ever know because I no longer seek their or a doctor’s approval for what I know to be true about my health. My goal is to be true to me and what I need to do to take care of me. I’m healing at 16 months and no doctor was able to tell me this was possible. You are fierce. You have support here. 👍🏻💪🏻

It’s always difficult for anyone that has a hidden or unseen illness for others to understand. That don’t see the sickness on the outside so they can’t fully accept we are sick. And society and the medical community has been somewhat brainwashed to believe all vitamins are water soluble and we just flush out any excess our bodies don’t need, so B6 can’t be toxic.
I kept it to myself for a long time and finally resorted to only talking to my close inner circle of friends about it, as it affects them more when I have flares and need to cancel rehearsals, outings, etc. They seem to understand as they personally see the effects. But everyone else I just say “I have this nervous system thing I’m healing from, it will get better, just takes some time”. And that’s easier for them. My close circle I’ve explained the symptoms, cause and the Protocol and how I’ll get better in time but I’ll have bad days and good days and just bear with me.
