I've had toes and fingers go to "sleep" from medications when I've started up. (But I think you stopped your meds - still true?)
otherwise... news socks too tight? new shoes not large enough in toebox area? These can also cause blood circulation problems in your toes. Or if you have Reynaud's (where your toes and fingers turn blue easily in the cold) this is a benign condition that's helped by some lifestyle changes.
Too much caffeine reduces blood circulation.
Alcohol causes circulation problems.Those are the non-nerve stuff I thought of. I used to have a lot of problems with my little piggies when I lived in England, caused by damp weather, excessive perspiration, and high alcohol intake. I developed chillblains which do *not* make your toes numb, but red, itchy, sore and swollen. No sandals for ClearSkies!!
Now that I live in the semi tropics of Florida, my feet are fine.

>well, technically I am on a small dose every couple of days, I freaked myself out when some stress happened. But Im not really on a ligitimate dose. I searched it but I couldnt find it listed as a side effect.

:-) maybe I tie my shoes too tight. Thats possible

that sounds awful, your poor toes
well, one of my little piglets lol sometimes seizes, it feels like pins and needles and wont move but it isnt pins and needles. And a lot of the time jogging, it is possible that my shoes are the problem or even other pairs of shoes and they are causing damage. One of my favorite boots is a tiny bit too small so when I move around in them for extended time they really hurt.Thanks!

you could be breathing incorrectly when jogging, a mild hyperventalation type thing. this would easily cause the common pins and needls sensation. otherwise, just some constriction in the shoe, but if it happens after jogging for a bit i think its the way your breathing (which you probably arent aware of)
