Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 the diet sodas will increase fibro and MS pain - that is why I gave up soda all together - not worth it my treat once or twice a month is a steak basket from Braums - fries without salt, steak burger with mayo on a bun, sweet tea without ice Braums is okay - not hormones in anything - I can't afford the produce or meat but it is there God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Thanks Dee.. I'll have to mention the myalgia symptoms to the X.. he's diabetic and uses Splenda in everything! I don't use Splenda myself, and about the only thing I use "real" sugar in, is my coffee in the morning. I don't drink much iced tea anymore either, because and I can't agree on how to make the stuff! I'd rather have a glass of ice water anyway.
