Abigail Cormack thought she was dying from a mystery illness. She never realised her daily chewing gum habit was probably poisoning her.
[...]
When Ms Cormack, 25, of Wellington, began suffering crippling muscle cramps and tingling in her hands and feet about five months ago, she feared she was having a heart attack.
She started suffering heart palpitations, anxiety attacks, depression and skin rashes, was unable to sleep and had to take sick leave.
But, despite a battery of tests, doctors could not pinpoint the cause.
[...]
Her GP, Penny Rowley, was at the point of referring her to a neurologist when she heard about the gum habit.
She confirmed aspartame poisoning as the likely culprit, and within 24 hours of giving up gum, Ms Cormack's symptoms disappeared.--Stuff.co.nz
