If I'm looking at candy, or cough drops, there's a "False Choice": EITHER 1) Sugar AND High Fructose Corn Syrup. OR 2) Aspartame. (Occasionally, you find 3) Sucralose, which I, personally "tolerate", but which has its OWN Health Risks).<br /><br />Aspartame SHOULD be banned, outright, but STILL has "position power", in the Marketplace.<br /><br />My full compassion for you. Cathylea. Have you recovered?

I...I've just learned about aspartame poisoning. I've been told I have fibromyalgia and had symptoms of Ms but no lesions. The Ms symptoms disappeared several months ago and yesterday when I read an article that talked about how aspartame can cause all the symptoms I thought back and realized my Ms like symptoms stopped around the same time I cut back from 4 to 5 large diet drinks a day to only one 20 ounce diet drink a day. If it wasn't for my sister in law sending me the article I would have never made the correlation. I was hoping not consuming any aspartame at all would help with the pain and cognitive difficulties I still have that the doctors call fibromyalgia. I see you still have problems with memory and other things. I was wondering if you have tried detoxing. From what I have been reading this morning the poisons that cause the symptoms are stored in fat cells for the most part and that detox and certain herbs can help the body get rid of the poisons quicker and easier which I'm sure would help remaining symptoms. Hope the helps because I know what its like struggling through life with these symptoms and no answers.

Within 12 hours, I ate 15 cough drops with aspartame and was feeling an extreme level of what I thought was heartburn. All of a sudden my body temperature rose within 3 minutes, covering me in sweat, and then dropped, and I felt chills and got very weak (couldn't hardly move my legs and arms and got very dizzy). I felt like I was dying, but I dragged my feet to my car to get to my dad's place. After I got there I threw up. My father took me to the emergency ward of a hospital, and while waiting to be seen I ate one cough drop still unaware of it was acting like poison in my body. I got another bout of extreme stomach pain and nausea about 20 minutes later, but the doctors didn't find anything, just that my temperature was at 101. Later on, I realized that the only unusual thing that I did eat the day before was aspartame. I think that my case is very unusual to be that sensitive to a "food product," but I feel that it at least needs warning labels, so that people can be aware. I also didn't realize how dangerous it was for me to drive, because the aspartame was actually affecting my arm and leg functioning (blocking my brain signals to my body); I just thought it was weak from fever at the time.<br /><br />This is a real life story (not made up). I'm almost wondering if other people might have experienced it too, but blamed it on having the flu or eating spoiled food, not the diet soda that they might have just drank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345533982473627596.post-21022828101247658752009-12-18T19:05:06.285-08:002009-12-18T19:05:06.285-08:00I never would have thought.
