Hi there ~

You may take a while to get rid of the neuropathy that is a result of the vitamin deficiency. However you should consult a neurologist who will be better able to diagnose your condition if it is other than a vitamin deficiency. Numbness in various regions are likely related to a neurological condition if the vitamin supplementation does not help.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
