Aspartame Anti-Testimonials© #098 – Blood Pressure, Blurred Vision, Fatigue

It is now 9:53pm EST and it has been almost a whole week without aspartame and the results so far are astounding! I had been taking 20mg Zestril daily since December of last year because my blood pressure was so high my doctor feared I would have a stroke, 30mg Actos and 20mg (sometimes more) Glucophage daily for my blood sugar which had been successfully controlled with diet for two years, and 20mg vioxx for pain. I have not had a pain pill for 4 days now, and have not had blood pressure or diabetic meds for 5. Today my BP is 120/80, and my blood sugar is not only under control, but as a test I have been eating foods that even BEFORE it went totally out of control I wouldn’t have been able to eat! I have used generous amounts of REAL sugar in drinks, ice cream, pastries (not small amounts, but a PLATEFUL at one sitting) crackers, cereals, etc. I don’t intend to continue to eat this way, but I have a scheduled appointment with my GP on Tuesday and I really want to show him what has happened in just one week! My vision has started to clear up the past two days also. Two weeks ago it took me all my effort to walk around my block 3 1/2 times at a crawl. Today I went to a local park with my dog and walked the trails, hills and all, for almost TWO HOURS. On Wednesday I attended an exercise class in water at a local pool that had been approved by my doctor since I was too weak for regular exercise. I had previously had to ask them if I could use the ground-level entrance for the handicapped since the regular entrance involved going into the basement level where the lockers are located and back up to the pool, then reversed to get out. This time I used the regular, and after the class I had just finished taking the flight of stairs up and as I stepped out of the stairwell the person who had been in the office when I had asked for permission saw me- she was amazed that I was the SAME PERSON she had seen just a week before (and I mean jaw-dropping amazed). My father is coming back to live with me Saturday, almost two months after the county social workers came in and declared that I was unfit to take care of him because of my health and that it would be dangerous to allow him to remain here. If I had not found a link to your website while looking into MS I probably would have spent the rest of a short, miserable life sinking deeper into my nightmare, unable to get out until I finally just died. Thank you all for giving me back my life AND my father! I will continue to post progress reports to your site. HDavi22127@aol.com
