Aspartame Anti-Testimonials© #044 – Weak Hands, Side Pain, Fibromyalgia

Everyone listen! I am 53 years old and have been drinking diet soda like an addict for years. Several years ago my hands started getting very weak – I assumed it was “old age” setting in. Then I started having pain on my side – despite every medical test imaginable – i.e. catscan, MRI, sonar, x’rays, sonograms, heart test … I started getting sicker and sicker. It finally reached the point to were I could no longer walk. I would be up all night, with muscle spasms, shooting pains down my legs and arms. I was lethargic – couldn’t move if my life depended on it. We had to hire full time household help because I couldn’t get out of bed. I was told I had fibromyalgia and not much they could do but give me pain killers and anti-depressants. I finally changed doctors – and walked into the new doctors office with a diet soda! Immediately, she asked me what I had in my cup – when I told her..she said “do you know how dangerous artifical sweetneers are?” Anyhow, it has taken 4 months of detoxing my body with vitamins, minerals, herbs etc, to finally say that my pain in undercontrol. It took about 3 months before I started walking like a normal person again. If my accident I put something in my mouth as I did the other day, a sugar-free cough drop, within 20 minutes I start having pain down my legs and arms. I am not 100% back to my old self – perhaps 80% there. PLEASE LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE. I am now hearing all kinds of horror stories from friends of friends! MsSharman@aol.com
