My 46 year old mother awoke from her sleep last night mumbling and c/o pain on the left side of her face, numbness that started behind her left eye and went all the way to her left foot. She has been experiencing what she describes as "vertigo" spells (dizzy) but they do not last as long maybe 5 -10 seconds each but are reoccuring more frequently now. She c/o weakness, fatique and is sore on the entire left side of her body. She had a EKG & MRI done today both were normal. (MS & Stroke have been ruled out)
She also had labs drawn (TSH, CBC/diff, CMP, Insulin Blood, Sed. Rate) all of which were normal as well. She is on NO daily medications except for Tylenol as needed. She has been referred to a local Neurologists, any idea of what this could possibly be???

She does however drink several diet drinks & has for over 10 years. I have read that Aspartame can cause problems like this any suggestions??
