I just read in Deborah Quilter's "The Repetitive Strain Injury Recovery
Book" something that reminded me about this person's post, forwarded to us
by Paul, and it made me wonder if vitamin B6 might be the cause of part of
her problems. (I'm sending her a carbon copy of this.)

Quilter writes: "...unlike some other water-soluble vitamins, B6 can be
stored in the muscles, and can thus reach toxic levels. Paradoxically, an
excess of vitamin B6 can lead to the very symptoms people had hoped to
relieve by taking supplements: nerve damage, which manifests as clumsyness
or numbness in the hands or feet."

Just a thought, FWIW.
