Hi Megan - this is totally fascinating to me... because I have been suspecting a link with the Mycoplasma Pneumoniae infection or Chlamydia Pneumoniae (Cpn) Infection.

My - so far unexplained - neuropathy (MS suspected, lots of tests done but nothing showing up) began in my early teens... but I had pneumonia at age 9 and from that point onwards asthma and recurrent chest and throat infections (and a hideous number of short courses of antibiotics)... up until the current day (I am 37 now) alongside my slow progression of nerve damage (mainly legs and feet, but more recently in onr hand and arm although thankfully that has retreated at present).

I am in the UK and will find out how to get tested for this...
Best wishes and thanks for sharing this
