I was told to give my daughter both B6 and B12. I just used the standard dosage 
for her. We really didn't seem to see any difference when she was on them 
though. I have now just started her on a Teen megavitamin from Vitamin World 
and asked her nurses at KKI if they felt that was ok and they said that instead 
of taking the full 3 capsules per day, she should only take one but during her 
time of the month, she could take the 2nd just so she would have the extra 
iron, etc.

I was just recently at Johns Hopkins and met with Dr. Benjamin Greenberg. Dr. 
Greenberg is the Co-Director of the Transverse Myelitis Center along with Dr. 
Douglas Kerr.

One of the questions that I had for Dr. Greenberg was about the use of a 
multivitamin. His answer was for me to take an average multivitamin. His only 
concern was about the amount of Vitamin B6. He told me that he had several 
people come into his center in a wheel chair due to the amount of Vitamin B6 
that the people were taking.

I will be speaking with Dr. Greenberg on Tuesday about the amount of Vitamin B6 
that he feels is the proper amount to take. I will let our TM group know what 
he has to say.
