I had major joint problems for some time about 5 years ago. My doctors thought that I had Lyme’s, lupus or arthritis, none of which was a particularly good option. However, after testing for inflamitories and left it at that. Soon I couldn’t even pick up a coffee cup as my elbow was so bad. Then someone suggested that I stop eating anything with NutraSweet.
I decided that it couldn’t hurt. I think that I actually went through withdrawal; I wanted a diet soda so much it was ridiculous. Anyway the pains in my joints started to leave with the last new pain leaving first and so on until finally my elbows which were the first to show symptoms were ok too. About 6 months later I had to see my Dr. for something else and told him about what had happened with my nonspecific tendonitis. He then told me that he hadn’t thought of it but that he was reading more and more about symptoms from the stuff and that migraines and joint pain were two of the most common.
NutraSweet free for 5 years with no problems and loving it.
