Excitotoxins & Food in Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Saturday August 7, 2010 One of the many things that's blamed for symptoms of fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), especially pain and mood symptoms, is an over-excited brain.
Avatar n tn I got the same symptoms after a tetanus shot. Burning boiling pain, muslce twitches and spasms, weakness. It happens when I rest, not necessarily trying to sleep. (was eventually diagnosed with "fibromyalgia"). This was unacceptable to me. Something was not right! After much research, I have realized a few things:1) Mercury (thermosol in the flu shot) allows pathogens to grow and multiply. They love it! 2) Vaccines -an abrupt trauma to your immune system-- can bring out latent Lyme.

During a lecture, I said, ‘If you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, Cramps, Vertigo, Dizziness, Headaches, Tinnitus, Joint pain, Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!
Avatar n tn The only thing I did different, make sure that I never have anything that contains aspartame(Equal). Its been about 5 years now and I can tell you that it has changed my life. If I accidentally have even a small amount of aspartame I get an intense migrain within minutes. Anyone else have a similar problem with aspartame?
Avatar f tn A slow thyroid can cause fatigue, but so can Fibromyalgia and a tumor on the Parathyroid. Did your blood work show a deficiency of D3 or B 12? Both of these vitamins are needed for good health. The fact that you are fainting leads one to believe there is a vascular problem. You might have low blood pressure. Please let us know what the doctor says...

Avatar f tn The MS society has never found any connection between aspartame and MS and trust me, they are the ones who want to know, so if there were a connection, you would know about it from them. I really despise doctors who use unsubstantiated scare tactics to boost their own careers. If you haven't noticed yet, most homeopathic doctors also sell their own medicines. Conflict of interest? I think so. If you don't have anything, how in the world will they sell you their products?
645390 tn?1338555377 Ok, ok ok...This question is really for my Mother in-law, or actually my Mother Out-law. In the past few months, she has sent me articles about Aspartame "causing" symptoms of MS. She calls me and "warns" me of this, fairly often. She and I are very different in our choices of the way we live. Neither is right or wrong in my opinion, but not in hers. Subjects go anywhere from child rearing to the car I drive.

People were jumping up during the lecture saying, 'I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?' Yes! Yes! Yes!
Avatar n tn Still unsure of the cause of all this but that was the only thing that was different and I have cut it out and I feel better but I think there is some permanent damage. I do have another intereting story about my friends wife and aspartame and hers was confirmed if you would like me to post that was well. Let me know. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn For many years now I have been having severe muscles pain all over my body. Usually the pain stars at the back of the head and in a few hours its all over the body including both legs. I have been to so many doctors and specialists, orthopaedic and neurosurgeons'I have been taking all sorts of medication - the ONLY solution seems to have been DEANXIT - it worked miracles.
Avatar n tn I am aware that there is no official documentation of a link between aspartame/artificial sweeteners and the many maladies the anti-aspartame sites claim, but, as I said, I do wonder, and wanted to ask if anyone here had any information for me! Thank you, Gina.
Avatar f tn Also can aspartame cause weight gain or would it just be better to use regular sugar and regular pepsi?

Avatar n tn I just read the ingredients on my "light" preserves, and they contain aspartame. Is it unSafe to consume while pregnant? I am still in my first tri mester.
Avatar m tn I wish aspartame was the cause of my PVCs/PACs/possible NSVT. I don't touch aspartame containing food and I still get them :(. I also have Hashimoto's and my palpitations seem to flare up when my thyroid goes borderline/subclinical hypo. There also seems to be some connection between my palpitations, gas (SIBO) and food.
Avatar f tn Also, eat smaller meals more frequently, stay hydrated, and GET RID OF ASPARTAME AND PHENALYNINE ! Aspartame is also known by the number 951 and is an artificial sweetener.
