Aspartame Anti-Testimonials© #637 – Amenorrhea

Well, I don’t know for certain what symptoms I’ve experienced (that I can attribute  specifically to Aspartame) but I can tell you something I’ve noticed this week (a whole week without Diet Coke. who would have thought?). I was anorexic at age 12, when I began drinking Diet Coke. After I recovered from anorexia, I continued drinking diet soda. In the years that followed I developed Amenorrhea – cessation of menstrual periods. My Doctors attributed this to the anorexia. Yet in the past seven years, since my recovery from anorexia, I still have had to deal w/ this problem (no menstrual periods). My Dr. tried Provera pills and when that didn’t work, a Provera shot, and when that didn’t work 2 Proivera shots plus pills. All to no avail. She couldn’t figure it out–and I became scared that I had some serious problem that would affect my ability to have children. Remarkably enough, after 1 week without Aspartame–and seven years later, I discovered my Amenorrhea was suddenly “cured.” Is this ironic timing–or is there a connection? I know what I think.
