I was feeling AWFUL, hypoglycemia, had no energy, headaches all the time, muscle aches and pains, and Galactorreah (unexplained lactation) the whole ball of wax. Anyway, I went to the dr. had to do tons of tests and MRI junk, they thought it was a pituitary tumor, they found nothing, so my doc tried to diagnose me with depression. She gave me Prozac, muscle relaxers and Ambien I was astounded that she had prescribed this after just 2 visits with her. Anyway on the way home I thought, I’m not depressed just stressed.
I did not fit any of the criteria for depression that wasn’t on the list of things for someone needing to relieve stress. So I didn’t take any of the meds and would hate to have to start any. ANYWAY, I started reading and came across some articles related to sweeteners and how they react in your body. I was amazed at what I was reading. So I decided to quit all sweeteners. I feel like a different person. I don’t have the sweet tooth that I did before and my “brain fog” is gone, I am sleeping better, the headaches are gone. I cannot believe the changes that I am feeling since I eliminated them. Anyway that is my 2 cents worth.
