About a week and a half ago, I gave up diet soda (aspartame) after several articles suggested that it could cause several of the symptoms I was experiencing.
So far, the morning fog that made getting out of bed nearly impossible, as in I was late for everything, is gone. When the alarm goes off I feel rested and ready to go. Additionally, I seem to have a bit more "drive" or "get up and go" during the day, which makes work much less of a slog.
Joint pain and swelling in my hands and knees, which disappeared two days after I stopped drinking diet pot, is still absent.
And, I've lost 4 pounds. I don't feel as hungry.
So far, I've stuck to water and skim milk.
