@tw508 I know in sending me to a neurologist to try to disprove ethambutol caused this he sent me for an MRI results still pending and told me to take riboflavin he said B1 supps but that is not riboflavin but thiamine. B2 is riboflavin together with magnesium. He said it would help with migraines but not sure if he was thinking it might help the neuropathy as well. No mention of any other B vitamins.

@cd33 My doctor sent me to a neurologist as well to try to disprove ethambutol caused it and the neurologist confirmed the peripheral neuropathy in my feet primarily. Said it was sensory neuropathy and not muscular neuropathy and said it must have been caused by the ethambutol because there were no other reasons. She also said to take B12 which I have but I haven't noticed a difference.
