Answer 3

Although you COULD have MS, it would be extremely unlikely. The symptoms that you describe are quite common, and can be caused by many different conditions (including stress and anxiety). In almost all cases, these symptoms are harmless, and only very few of the people with these symptoms end up having something serious, such as MS.
You need to check with your physician, who knows your medical history and can examine you. He/she will be able to decide if you need any tests to rule out MS and can reassure you if you don't.


P.S. The muscle twithchings that you describe are called fasciculations and they are normal. They occur in everybody to some extent, but not everybody is equally aware of them.

Since aspartame came on the market in l981, it has accounted for more than 75 percent of the complaints reported in the FDA's Adverse Reaction Monitoring system. the most common adverse reactions attributed to aspartame are headaches, dizziness, attention difficulties, memory loss, slurred speech and vision problems and more. this cluster of symptoms has become so common that it is actually referred to as "aspartame disease".
