vitamin B6

Just wanted to share with you all about Vitamin B6 for helping with fingernail or nail bed infections. My oncologist suggested that high doses of this vitamin can be helpful in controlling the deterioration of your nails . I have been on them for 2 weeks and i really think it is helping (i am still having some issues with my big toenails more than my fingers). My dose is 100mg x 3 times a day, plus there is some in a multi vitamin i have daily too.

Anyway, just thought i would share in so u can discuss with your medical team if u have similar issues

Sam :)

    Thanks Sam - I am and asked Onc today who said she didn't think it would do much but wouldn't hurt so I might give it a go too.

    Thanks

    I seem to remember reading that vit.b6 also helped with peripheral neuropathy pain from chemo as well.Must be helpful if the oncs are prescribing it cos they usually pooh whoo vitamins.
