[QUOTE="lrw60, post: 429760, member: 64443"] The joints in question being my neck and right shoulder. Last year I realised that I couldn't tilt my neck back as far as I used to. I then discovered that I couldn't reach as high with my right arm as I could with my left. I put all this down to my arthritis, old age and having worked as a builder all my life. A month or so ago I noticed a topic on this site about artificial sweetner, and the possibility that it can be harmful. I used a fair bit of the stuff in my porridge and tabs in hot drinks, so during a normal day i must have had a fair bit of it. Some friends staying with me that week persuaded me to give it up. I did and 4 days later I could tip my head back further and nearly reach up as high with my right arm. It has now been about a month since giving up the stuff and I have full mobility on these joints. Giving up sweetner was and still is very hard. I am addicted to sweet things. A cup of tea and coffee is just bitter hot water. I now have ginger and other spices in my porridge with a very small amount of sultanas. I know there are other forms of artificial sweetner out there, maybe even safe ones, but I will stick to my guns and give up on them all, or I might never break this addiction. Lee [/QUOTE]
