Ok
So as it turns out it had nothing to do with the aspertame, and everything to do with the fact that I was totally sleep deprived, stressed, nervous, and had just drank 4 cups of coffee loaded with caffine, had been sitting in a chair for two hours straight, and was suffering from autonomic dyfuction.. These factors pushed my heart rate up and caused me to hyperventilate, which I'm pretty sure is what bring on the paralysis episodes.

LB I hope your Neuro is right. I know it is a definite trigger for me. What concerns me is that it can take up to fifteen years to build up in your system to the point where it does damage. If you are interested in reading about it there are a lot of good sources on google scholar under aspartame. Hope you are getting some relief from your seizures.
