In reagrds to everyone's advice, I racked my brain to death yesterday trying to figure out what in the WORLD me and my husband have done differently to bring upon this insane twitching (coupled with only my muscle weakness). We decided that at this point we were moving out of this temporary housing to a new home (which we planned on doing soon anyway) due to suspicion of mold since we could not think of one single thing that could be affecting us.
Well, this morning I go in to make my usual couple of coffee with the SPLENDA that we all started using a month ago! :shock: I couldn't believe I did not think of this.
I run to my husband and tell him. I got on the internet and found only 1-2 sites where people complained of muscle twitches. This is our new plan, but I need your advice:
I am completely stopping Splenda from my diet, but he IS NOT, so that I can see if all my symptoms subside. In case of the possibility that it is not splenda (but maybe a mold) we do not want to leave the house at the same time we quit the splenda b/c then we would never know which one it was harming us....My question is,
(1)how long do you think that I need to stay off Splenda before I would notice an extreme improvement which would allow me to realize that it was the Splenda harming us? Please keep in mind that at the same time we do not want to stay in this house just in case it is a mold. Would 5 days be suffice?
(2) Is it even probable that we could BOTH be affected by Splenda with the same symptoms? I only use 2-3 packets a day for coffee/cereal...and my husband uses one a day for cereal.
Thanks!
