Ok, so this is a little odd and I thought I’d share in case it helps anyone else. I used to drink a lot (a LOT) of Diet Coke – it was the only thing that got me through the long days of study. I stopped for a while, can’t remember why and felt so much better, and then sometime later started again – at which point I was so sick, I had phenomenal migraines, nausea, exhaustion etc. I didn’t link the two at this stage, and then went to the doctor who did some tests. The results? Aspartame poisoning. Oh My God. I thought it was a myth created by freaks on the internet but it seems not. So now I have lost my caffeine source, and have to avoid life’s little pleasures like low fat Jell-O (I love it!), Diet Coke and copious amounts of other products.
Anyone else ever had a reaction like this?
