        Thanks for your reply.  I will look into that but I believe I have been tested for lymes. Also … I have not experienced any neuropthy symptoms since my pregnancy began in September. The first episode happened two winters ago and the most recent episode happened last summer where symptoms lasted for about a month. Would an MRI of your brain and spine show anything? My scans have always come back perfectly normal.

              Thanks for your reply. I actually don't drink much soda or diet soda. I do drink a lot of herbal and green teas but if I ever sweeten it, I use stevia. When I get the neuropathy symptoms, it seems very random and not correlated with anything. I get very stressed out when it does occur which seems to make the symptoms worse. I also get tinnitus(ringing in the ear) on occasion.
