Aspartame in diet drinks, nutrasweet & Splenda

This is my story with Aspartame, and the effects it had on me, if you drink diet soda's or eat diet foods or take nutra-sweet. Please read my story it could save your life.

About 5 years ago I started drinking diet coke, I work on my site long hours and the weight I was gaining started to bother me. I started consuming diet products and drinking a lot of diet coke. I need to say, before I start my story that I am 35 years old.

When it first started, I had memory loss, and severe mood swings. I thought "okay I just had a hysterectomy due to cancer so that has to be it." Then as time went on, I got arthritis in my hands so bad, I dropped everything I touched for 3 days. My father in law gave me this stuff called Absorbing Jr. (worked wonders) and I was able to do normal things. I used it daily to stop the pain.

Well it got worse, I then started feeling pain in my joints, especially my knee. I couldn't get out of the car without almost going into tears. (Thank God I digitize and could sit a lot) but the pain was unreal.

I started falling all the time, I couldn't go up or down the stairs by myself and my husband had to constantly take a hold of me so I didn't fall. I went black berry picking with my family, and I fell in the middle of the road. My daughter had to help me up. It was really bad and no matter what I did or what shoes I wore I fell.

but the worst part was still to come, my hair turned almost completely grey! People started making comments  on it, my mom once said "girl, your hair is greyer then mine" The knee pain went on and I had a constant limp. We knew some neighbors that honestly saved my life.

They gave me a pamphlet on Aspartame, and the deadly 92 side effects that go with it. Aspartame is in diet drinks, and almost all diet foods. You RETAIN fluid so it doesn't help you loose weight either. I started doing research, I read every website I could get a hold of, I  decided to take the 60 day test,
(I sure didn't want to give up my diet coke... but I did.) I had been drinking it for over 5 years.

Within 2 weeks, my limp was gone, and the pain in my joints was going away. I no longer fell either. (The first 2 days I stopped drinking it,  was hard, and I felt like I was walking through tunnel vision, my head was foggy and it was hard to concentrate on anything.) I also need to note when I stopped drinking or consuming aspartame, my hair is now brown again. I also had a chronic cough, I coughed so bad my lungs felt like they were going to explode and that they were on fire, for 5 years I felt like I was going to die at any given time and had no clue why. I quit drinking diet soda and quit eating diet food and all of the problems stopped.
