I saw specialist after specialist and not one could find a reason for my symptoms.  I thought it was diabetes. It was by chance that I figured out it was the Splenda causing it.

I started using Splenda when I began the Atkin's Diet. At first, I attributed the fatigue and thirst to the diet since many people said it was common. However, the fatigue and thirst continued for months after I stopped Atkin's.

I used to buy Splenda in bulk at Costco, but, for an extended period of time, they ran out. It was at that point that I stopped using Splenda for a week or more. I didn't notice right away that the fatigue was gone because it would come and go throughout the month. It dawned on me that it was the Splenda when I finally bought more and started using it again. That same day the symptoms came back.

I stopped using it for the most part, but today I didn't think about it and added Splenda to my coffee.  Boom!  I feel like crap. I was such a pusher of Splenda--telling everyone about it and how I have to use the crappy Sweet-n-Low or Equal. :("
