I've been addicted to the stuff for years, and have gone off of it for 2 weeks now. Too soon to tell, but I've tried everything else I can think of, and I thought, what the heck? It can't hurt. I'm so sick of all of the conflicting things I read and hear about it tho. I was wondering about others here who have maybe been ingesting a lot of it, maybe in diet soft drinks, and what your thought are about it?

Yes - I believe that aspertame does make our symptoms much worse. I was drinking diet pop for a while and I felt absolutely terrible. Much worse than before. Once I figured out the link and stopped things did improve. My nutritionist who has over 20 years of ecxperience with Fibromyalgia (FMS) has nothing good to say about it whether you have FMS or not. Also, using any artifical sweetner will make you more hungry. Now I stick to water, the ocassional IBC root beer and juice. No diet anything. Take care.
