I was having dizzy spells, where I felt as though I had lost my sense of equilibrium. One was so bad I had to leave work that day (I am a school bus driver). It felt as though my brain stem had separated from my spinal cord, or at least that is the only way I can think to describe it, everything went sideways for a second, then I felt as though I couldn’t regain my balance.
I have a friend who has MS, she told me she had had the same sort of dizzy spells before she was diagnosed. After a while I realized that every time I drank diet soda especially large quantities i.e. fast food serving, I would get dizzy.
Now I try to avoid it but it’s everywhere. It does not have to say “sugar free” it may just say “light” or “no cal” so read the ingredients on everything!
I also have a friend who drank crystal light instead of water when she was pregnant. Now her little girl has seizures but the doctors can’t find a cause.
