I've also been reading a lot about aspartame toxicity and how it has
been shown to cause nerve damage. I've been a HUGE diet soda addict
for a the last five years or so. I'm going to quit drinking
products with aspartame as an ingredient. Have any of you ever seen
aspartame mentioned in prior posts as a potential cause?

pointed out to me by a potential client, and then again several
months later by my then gf, after which I decided to get it checked
out, which if memory doesn't fail me was in 2002, so I must have
first been made aware of it around 2001. Oooh, I just remembered, I
went under general anaesthetic in 2001 for an operation, maybe that
kicked things off, hmm, interesting, that's got me thinking now! lol
