Just an update from an e-mail we exchanged in February and also to MS Focus. I had been diagnosed as pre-MS by my doctor. That day I went off my diet Pepsi habit of 5-8 cans a day.
It is now April 19th and I am symptom free. Also my migraine headaches are gone. The only one I had since that day was the day after I went off – boy was I sick from caffeine withdrawal! But since that day I’ve progressively gotten better. I read to give it 60 days – by mid-March my numbness and tingling were gone, my shooting “electricity” sensations in my legs were gone, my tiredness and achiness in my legs was gone, my hearing (plugged ear) was gone, and I quit dropping things as I had begun to experience. I’ve replaced diet Pepsi with water.
Regardless of what anyone says about the evidence of Aspartame poisoning, I believe you. I’ve done my best to try to get other people to quit having it also, but I guess they have to go through it like I did to really realize what it does to you. I’m praying my symptoms don’t come back, and I don’t think they will. Only time will tell.
