I did not know that diet soda was deadly. I was diabetic during my last 2 pregnancies, and i drank diet soda everyday.I have strange symptoms like joint pain, numbness in my arms and legs, and everyday I'm in excrutiating pain. I just started having these symptoms after the birth of my last child 4 months ago. I'm going to take the article i saw here about that chemical in diet soda, and take it to my doc. I'm only 27, I was fine till my last birth, and it seems like my health is getting worse, I've had blood tests so far and they all come up fine. right now I'm waiting 4 a lupus result.At my age, It's very scary what I'm going through right now. I have 4 children who need their mother here with them. I sometimes think wether i have ms too. I'm tired all the time, It's hard 4 me to function alot of times, but i force myself to get out of that bed everyday and take care of my family.I was adopted when I was a child, so i do not know my most of my familys medical history.at this point, all i can do is just work with my doc. and hope i find the cause of my ailment.
