I have heard so many with MS say that ALL artificial sweetners give them a headache or migraine. When I was preggers in 1983 the MD told me then STAY AWAY! we have no idea what effect it can or will have on a developing fetus. That got me to thinking more closely about what I was shoving in my pie hole while I was making a baby. I rarely had a diet anything cause I was super skinny then but it made me switch gears and think before I ate.

Years later I know within 5 minutes of eating something with splenda or aspertame or equal. My brain feels like its boiling. I am dizzy, and nervous and really feel ill. I had a close friend tell me that she used to feel that way but it passed after sticking with her diet soda. She really wanted to lose weight. MS was hard enough skinny, let alone plump she said. I was shocked to hear that even tho something made her quite sick she kept eating it and ignored what her body was telling her.
