Welcome to NeuroTalk:

Can you tell what antibiotics you took? Anticonvulsants? Anticonvulsants deplete Vit D. Canada... in the North where Vit D levels are very low typically.

I believe the Canadian doctors are testing Vit D commonly now like Australia and US. So it would be a good idea to get that done. Very low D can cause paresthesias in the body and skin, because of the negative effect on calcium absorption and metabolism.

Here is a thread with medical videos to explain more in detail:

Some antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, metrinidozole) can cause PNs.

Here is a link with a list of drugs that may cause PN:
