Aspartame Anti-Testimonials© #072 – Chronic Fatigue, High Blood Pressure, Weight Gain, Depression

I have been a victim of aspartame poisoning for several years and only realized it very recently. I have been suffering from extreme chronic fatigue and high blood pressure, weight gain, depression, numbness of hands & feet, joint pain, headaches, insomnia, etc. I started ingesting Aspartame a little over 4 years ago when I began the Atkins diet and have continued consuming at least a six pack of some type of diet drink per day. I have been on “umpteen” medications for depression (& most recently for high blood pressure) for 4 years with absolutely no relief, often with a worsening of symptoms. Doctor after doctor keeps insisting that I am just depressed and need to try this or that medication. I have always known that was not the answer, but did not know where to turn. Finally two weeks ago someone enlightened me to the horrors of aspartame poisoning. Given the amount that I have ingested on a daily basis for the last 4 years, my health issues finally make sense. I immediately stopped all aspartame intakes that I have been able to detect and while the recovery is slow to happen, I can very gladly say that after having diarrhea for the last four years, it is finally cleared up. Now if I can just get rid of the rest of the miserable effects!!  GuzziRiders@aol.com
