Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Quitting smoking is hard, as hard if not harder as quitting heroin addiction. Have you read Allan Carr (sp?)'s book(s) regarding the quit smoking trials and tribulations? His approach speaks to many to quit for good. Another Question which pops into my head resulting from discussions about MS on another list: have you ever been tested for Lyme?. This is not an accepted cause(by mainstream) but apparently proven to be behind MS diagnosis for some. H.

A lot of people got suckered in years ago, when the big hoopla about sugar was around. So, rather than using actual sugar, they begin using the fake stuff instead. Frankly, if I'm going to eat something sweet, I'd prefer that all the ingredients be something I know and something I can pronounce! But, that doesn't leave a heck of lot left...... I can usually taste aspartame or other sugar substitutes. Hard to explain, as my palate is very sensitive, but the all give me a strange aftertaste as well. Lucky I don't get the reaction you do..... Lynn Actually, diet food is not the only food with aspartame. They are dumping the poison in practically any food that needs sweetening. I know because I used to buy a childhood favorite (chinese preserve seeds)which is not diet food but is now sweetened with aspartame. They even call it by another name, Phenelalanaine???? or something like that. They even dump the poison in breads. I always know when I have eaten aspartame because I either get a herpes outbreak, or my heart starts palpitating, or I get a headache. Josephine Checked by AVG.

When I had my first real bad exacerbation, we were living in the country, and, as I recall (but not totally sure) stuff had recently come out about some folks that had gotten lyme. Being somewhere where one could easily gets tics, I'm pretty sure that neuro wanted to rule it out as a cause for the symptoms I got. But, one of the things I got - while driving, actually - was the double vision one can get from MS. I was driving home, with a good 1 1/2 to 2 hours drive before I got home, and all of a sudden, one car looked like two, and I couldn't tell where one side of the road was. The only way I made it back without incident, was to cover one of my eyes, which allowed me to see things as they were, instead of double, side by side.
