Nutrasweet problems

[Guest guest]

Hello I am new here, and I see a lot of people on here talking about

sugar free this and that. I have not had the surgery yet, but have been

researching it for about a year and have finally decided that it is the

answer for me. (with my Doctor, of course) My only problem is that a

few years ago I had to give up nutra sweet. I discovered that a lot of

people were getting sick from nutra sweet. I found out that I had many

of the symptoms, and I had been a diet coke junkie, 6 - 8 cans a day.

I absolutely LOVED my Diet Coke! It was the hardest thing I ever did,

having to give that up.

I had chronic headaches, fibromyalgia, depression, memory loss, no

memory retention, chronic fatigue, numbness in my arms, hands, feet,

and face, joint pain, and it was horrible! I felt awful all of the

time, but within 1 week of quitting aspertame, I felt much better, and

in 3 weeks I felt like a new person! Most of my symptoms were gone, and

now they have all gone, and never returned! (for info go to any search

engine and type in sweet poison, aspertame or nutrasweet sick).

Anyways, I just will not do nutrasweet again. Is there something else

out there that anyone knows of? If not, I guess I will stick with

sugar, it is natural and does not make me so ill. I don't want to be

unsuccessful with my surgery, and I don't want to be so sick again. I

have not discovered another possibility yet.

Thank you for any responses! Staci
