When my feet started feeling heavy and they were slapping the ground making it difficult to run, I knew something wasn't right and went to my first neurologist.
I spent so much time trying to figure out what it might have been that triggered the PN--but there's so much... my dad used to spray our home and camp lot with spray pesticides when I was a child, I was in the army reserves, and they make you have a lot of immunizations, stress. I had, had the Tdap.. ..then I just decided to focus on getting better and not worry about what may or may not have caused it.

Funny, I thought my neuropathy was due to my interval training and hormones. I must have been deluded because the symptoms were so crazy.
