In the last six months I have been tested for MS, Parkinson’s, pituitary tumor, adrenal gland tumor and lupus. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, asthma, low vitamin A and low cortisol levels and wildly fluctuating thyroid. I was so out of it I could not even care for my dog; my daughter had to take him. I had such severe lymphedema my feet went from a size 5 1/2 AA to a 7 w.
I was so swollen I could not bend my arms or legs, there was so much swelling in my torso it was interfering with my breathing. I finally realized my symptoms reflected dehydration and quit drinking diet cokes and only drinking water and Gatorade. I started feeling great but still thought it was just dehydration and would have an occasional diet coke.
Finally after having several relapses of illness, I started looking at what I had consumed the day before and it always went back to days when I drank coke. This stuff is poison and I thank my lucky stars I am alive today. diane.ryder@yahoo.com
