I have consumed ten packs of Splenda a day for the past five years. In 2002, I started having severe nausea, excrutiating pain in my abdomen, extreme sleeplessness, and forgetfulness. I have had numerous blood tests, endoscopies, colonoscopies, etc. This does not show up on any test.

By January 2005, I could not stand up. By March, I felt death coming. I found out on March 15, 2005, about Splenda.

It has been almost a year and I am still in severe pain, cannot focus, and am having problem with my esophagus.  I can't work. This is all due to Splenda.

This has been undetectable in most of my tests and might be irreversible. I think the only way to tell if you've been poisoned is to contact the health department and have your doctor send them a blood sample to be tested for chlorine testing.

I have incurred more than $60,000 in medical tests and expenses, and more than $7,000 for medications. I am losing my house over all of this. I worked all my life to earn what I have, and now I'm going to lose all of it. I have applied for Social Security Disability.

I think everyone who has suffered should report to the FDA. I think a lawsuit should be started. I pray for all those who have gone through what I have."
