My thyroid was checked and it is normal. I have not had any surgeries or taken any antibiotics in a few years. The only trauma I could think of would be my poor posture and the way I sit at my desk. I've sat this way for years. I'm 6 feet tall, so I always lean forward and cram my toes into the floor. Could this repetitive action be the culprit? I haven't done it since my feet went numb. I actually haven't even sat at my desk since my feet went numb because I can't stand the feeling of my feet sitting flat on the floor, tingling away. I spend most of my time now either walking around or on the couch with my feet elevated.
This is truly the most annoying thing ever and I hope to get to the bottom of it. Thank you for all the information so far!!

Yes, it might be useful for you to see a good podiatrist and explain your foot problem and how you sit. Your issues with your feet may be mechanical in nature and correctable with support inserts or another treatment. (compression).
This is a really helpful website to illustrate all sorts of foot issues:

Even lacing your shoes in a different way can help compressive nerve damage in the instep.
