Like I said, the *aspertame* induced Tinnitus happens in only a very small amount of the population.

So my guess would be that yours is caused by something else.

I only threw it out as a suggestion to try knowing that it would be something the MXS could try right now, while waiting on doctors to do something else.

Do I think it will work, probably not. No one else in my family (mother, my children, my father's siblings, neices, nephews) have this. And we ALL drink artificial sweeteners.

But I would feel awful if I didn't mention it and she suffered for a year and then a doctor found out that she had a rare sensitivity to it.

I'm not diagnosing, I'm just giving insite into something that happened to my father on the very off chance that the information might be helpful to the person who just go on a message board and ASK for help.

If this isn't helpful to you, just ignore my suggestion.

By the way, if I'm a little sensitive, I apologize. I'm on day two of my "solumedrol smoothies".
