About the Ethambutol you are taking, 400 mg x 4 = 1600 mg -- At my weight of 150 pounds, I was taking 400 mg x 3 = 1200 mg three times a week. This medication could cause some rare, although serious, side effects (google). You may therefore want to check the dose with your doctor.

@happyhealthyme I weigh 59kg and was started in 1600mg that’s 4x 400 three days a week. I got neuropathy in my feet 5 hours after the first dose and it just got worse. Pains everywhere until they stopped it 18 days later.
