Message: <blockquote data-quote="zand" data-source="post: 2205420" data-attributes="member: 85197">Thanks for tagging me @Indy5I One or two of my symptoms were similar.I was certainly more thirsty.  I had had disturbed sleep and muscle pains on a regular basis for years.  I am not sure if aspartame made them worse.  Until now I blamed insulin resistance for the muscle pains and self imposed bad sleep patterns when i trained myself to wake frequently because i was concerned about waking to check on my baby years before.  Maybe the aspartame addiction made them worse?  I didn't notice them get worse when i was in withdrawal though.I wasn't diabetic at the time so don't know about about ketone or BG levels.  I now realise that my recurrent throat infections were probably down to aspartame as when i have occasionally slipped and had another diet coke my voice and throat 'aren't right'.When I was in withdrawal the urge to have 'just one' was almost unbearable.  I got really bad headaches and shooting pains up from my jaw.  I had never been a 'headachy' person before then.  It took me a few years to really kick the habit.  Anxiety? Well yes...that was a problem but mostly i think there were other causes for that.What you say about having symptoms of various illnesses rings true with me.  Generally I just didn't 'feel right'.I don't think I have been much help to you as like Indy says I am T2 but I guess everyone is unique so you may not have the same symptoms as another T1 anyway.Sounds like you are doing well with giving up as your symptoms are improving <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
