I’m amazed that there aren’t more posts regarding NutraSweet. I drank a lot of the stuff plus all the extras (gum, puddings, ice, etc.) thinking that it was safe. WRONG! I had vision problems, neuropathy, and pains in my shoulders, headaches, ringing in my ears etc. All symptoms but the pain were gone within two weeks after I stopped. Aspartame triggers fibromyalgia which I now have and it doesn’t seem to be going away. When you are diabetic there is a tendency to blame all the little aches and pains on that. But it’s not always diabetes. I’ve told non-diabetic friends who have stopped drinking diet drinks and lost their migraines. They are always surprised – and grateful. One of the most disturbing symptoms is a mental clouding and lack of concentration.
It’s nice to have my brain back and be able to read a book.
