[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 958368, member: 140811"] When I was diagnosed I switched to sugar free drinks, mainly Pepsi Max. My partner changed over at the same time as me because it was easier than buying 2 different types of coke. That was almost a year ago. Just recently I mentioned to her that I was waking up with strange hand cramps in the morning and getting pains in my knees, to my surprise she replied that she was experiencing similar symptoms. Looking around the web at various things I discovered several listings related to Aspartame and joint pain. We have now been Aspartame free for almost 2 weeks and the pains appear to be subsiding. Of course this may be coincidence, so I'm thinking of re-introducing Aspartame to my diet to see if the pains come back again. I can only find 2 colas that don't contain Aspartame, Sainsbury's own brand which is sweetened with Sucralose and the new(ish) Coke Life which is sweetened with Stevia. [/QUOTE]
