Aspartam in diet beverages

The aspartam in diet beverages opens up the pain receptors in the nervous system and adds on pain. Anyone who has fibromyalgia and who uses diet beverages with aspartam and who has pains that could be linked to the use of aspartam might want to consider excluding all aspartam in his or her diet. I have stopped using aspartam and I now drink mineral water and have much less pain than before.
