Well now...

Guess who has got aspartame poisoning???!!!

*waves hand*

Yup! Me! And if you've spent a weekend...err...a day with me, you'll completely see how. Actually, I've had it for a while, but was in denial until one of the symptoms showed up and started really scaring me. Numbing of limbs. I can blame my hands and arms on carpal tunnel, but my legs...not so much.

So...I've started cutting back even though doctor said right off, because, I've seen myself going for a day without it ((and still having caffiene)) and I will tell you that I become hellish to deal with and I will not put my family through that. Thus a gradual decline followed with a lot of water to help cleanse me.

*whines*

First nuts and shellfish are taken from me and now this? *pouts* But at least with this, once I'm healthier it can be a treat once in a while.....

But oh did people wanna smack me when they found how much I've been drinking >>;

Aspartame, huh. As if you don't have enough to deal with! I hope cutting out the soda isn't too traumatic. I had to stop drinking it because it was dissolving my teeth. Heh, I'll probably still need dentures by 40.

Actually, the worst thing that is happening is that my hands are really REALLY shaky.

But other then that...I'm giggly. Which is very odd and everyone is just kinda staring at me >>;
