The cause of my PN? I don't know.

After my left knee arthroscopic surgery in the early '90s, I found that my left foot would feel funny if I walked more than 30 mins. I thought I was going flat-footed or that I had some muscle atrophy. Throughout the '90s, after the knee surgery, I was trying to resolve what I perceived were malaise and fatigue. I experimented with diet, exercise, acupuncture, tai chi. In '05, I had an acute hyponatremia. That nearly did me in. In '08, I had a rash and the doctors fumbled around at a diagnosis, maybe shingles and post-herpetic neuralgia. A year after that, bottom of the foot pain and foot cramps, and some tingling-burning on the backs of the hands. My fatigue is now quite noticeable and inhibiting.

And here we are. Chronic poor nutrition may be a contributing factor. Flu vaccinations may be, as well.


P.S. I forgot shaman healer. I went to a shaman healer in San Rafael in Marin County.
