It is really best to start slowly.... Using all the listed supplements in the beginning does not help you target what is going on with you and identify your trigger.

I see from your latest posts that you work out alot. That is stressful. You also eat processed fast food, and consume alot of bananas. (sugar).

Your onset is recent, and can be due to a virus perhaps. Your diet may contribute as well, by having lots of sugars and carbs and fast food in it.

People who work out alot should pay attention to magnesium, which can get low. Many people just have low levels due to poor diet anyway.

So using a good magnesium supplement, like SlowMag twice a day or magnesium glycinate or citrate may help. Avoid oxide form.

If you are vegan or use alot of antacid drugs like Zantac and Prilosec OTC, then starting with B12 methylcobalamin may help.
But it is best to get this tested before you start. A doctor's order is needed for this, and get your results in numbers. 400pg/ml is the new low cut off for this.

If you don't eat well, using an Omega-3 supplement like fish oil may help. But I would not use all the supplements you listed yet. You may not even need them.

Try to remain calm...the magnesium can help for that. Excess stress and anxiety tends to alter the acid/base ratios in the blood, and cause more paresthesias.

So start slowly, relax, and avoid fast food. Fast food and restaurant foods, have lots of MSG (monosodium glutamate) in them, and that alone can trigger paresthesias.
