Brief Answer:
Levipil and AKT 3 should be continued.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
I have noted your symptoms.
As I remember, you were getting better. Most likely, this pain and numbness are not of concern.
However, if it repeats, the dose of levipil may have to be increased by 500 mg per day.
How much levipil are you taking at present?
Best wishes,
