  • I love sewing, but I was not built to have attention to details. I almost never use pins and when I cut my fabric, it's usually not quite right, but I use it anyways. I picked my screen name because those are two big parts of me that shouldn't go together.
  • I just made a big pot of veggie soup in my instant pot and now I have enough for the rest of the week. Right now I'm having veggie soup and toast.
  • The aspartame tablets for sweetening coffee could be put in empty gel caps from amazon and other gel caps could have something else, but the only time I had one of those was one of my worst reactions ever. Not one I'm eager to replicate. One could take the tablet with their eyes closed so they can't see the difference.
  • You have to store medicines at certain temperatures or they don't do what they are supposed to. It makes sense to me that drastically changing the temperature of something by boiling it could change it how it acts in your body.
  • Is there something else that has that diety taste that doesn't react the same way chemically as aspartame? I'm willing to try a blind test, but I think boiling it would change the test.
  • Question with your water test. I thought you couldn't cook with aspartame because it doesn't withstand high heat. Wouldn't boiling it change it enough to possibly change the results?
  • This has happened to me many times. Maybe in some people it is psychosomatic, but if we didn't know we consumed it until after we get symptoms, that isn't the case. My fogginess isn't the same as just being tired. It comes on very suddenly and has a very different feeling from being too tired to focus. As for the other…
  • Any time anyone asks if it's safe to feed foods with peanuts to babies for the first time, they say it's probably fine, but to be very careful because there are some people who have dangerous reactions, so watch carefully for symptoms of a reaction until you know it's safe, especially if there's a family history of peanut…
  • I always drank lots of soda in college. I drank about six/day, so I thought I could just switch to diet. The second instance involved my friend daring me to try one of her coffee sugar pills to see what it tasted like. After my dream freeze episode, I checked the ingredients and literally the only ingredient to the coffee…
  • When I have lots of aspartame, I have the symptoms of a mini stroke. When I was in college and started weight watchers and I switched to drinking several diet sodas instead of my regular. That day, I lost the ability to write what I wanted to write, talk how I wanted to talk, and I could barely stand or stay awake. I don't…
  • I'd see a cardiologist. I've had heart rhythm problems for abut 15 years. At first, it would just randomly jump up for about 30 seconds and then be fine. If it's rare, they'll probably hook you up with a monitor that you wear all the time for a week or so to see if they can catch any. I was totally fine for about 10 years…
