Default Welcome to Neurotalk.

It would seem that you might have a number of things going on.

First, when you had those UTI's, did you get put on any antibiotics? There are some, especially in the cipro family, that have been associated with neurological symptoms.

It would also be interesting to see your 2-hour glucose tolerance tests results, although a longer test with concurrent insulin levels drawn would be more instructive. (Make sure you always get copies of any test results from your physicians.) It is fairly well-documented that people can get symptoms of neuropathy from impaired glucose tolerance well before they have frank diabetes. Often, a longer glucose tolerance tests can reveal if a person has insulin resistance that results in reactive hypoglycemia, which can also result in neurological symptoms (and is often the first sign of impaired glucose tolerance or potential diabetes).

And, of course, there's always the possibility of compressive nerve issues due to postural problems or spinal arthritis/disc issues.

Feel free to come over and read/discuss possibilities at our other sections--
