WeWillBeatMS, when I read your comment, I laughed too. There has been good advice here! The Diet Cokes make me feel worse rather than better overall, but I really want them in the moment. What has helped when I've quit or reduced before:
having just one a day, with a sip at a time, stored in the fridge bet. sips
drinking bottled water instead
substituting Frescas
not having them in the house at all
When I've started up again after weeks off it is because:
just one is ok
mmmm that is so good
my husband has one around me
But then I am quickly back up to five a day. I also am under the mistaken impression that they will help with my fatigue even though I know from when I've been off of them that I have no more or less fatigue then.

Five a day!! yikes.. Cece, Cece Cece.. We all know what a 'google wizard' you are so I'd guess you already know the evils of aspartame and the vasoconsticting characteristics of cola... hmmm.. maybe we should 'tell on you'?Cece wrote:But then I am quickly back up to five a day.

I get *massive*, horrible, impossible to cope with headaches when I go off caffeine. After I read about the oldest woman alive drinking a cup of coffee a day, so do I! Doesn't an MS remedy (another one not sold by neurologists) contain lots o' caffeine?
I wouldn't touch (a discussion of) diet soda with a ten foot canadian.

this thread is hysterical....love it. Cece, you have to be careful what you divulge on here...too many people care about your health!
We all used to be diet soda fiends in our house until Jeff's MS dx....Jeff now loves iced green tea. We make it unsweetened and then add a touch of stevia and lemon juice. It's so refreshing, has a kick of caffeine and is full of EGCG, antioxidants and goodness...

you can kick the can habit!Stevia is a South American herb that has been used as a sweetener by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay for hundreds of years. The leaves of this small, green Stevia rebaudiana plant have a delicious and refreshing taste that can be 30 times sweeter than sugar.

Cece's Diet Coke Intervention
Cece, so how's day one of your Adios Diet Coke/Aspartame program going?
I just tried iced green tea for the first time and I love it! I just brewed two cups and then poured them over a tall glass of ice. No sweetener for me but that's just how I always drink regular ice tea. It was great!
You might try that Agave Nectar or Stevia to sweeten yours.
We're all pulling for ya!

Somehow unexpectedly I am feeling motivated to be giving up the Diet Coke again.
While I have had two Diet Cokes today, I mentioned to my husband yesterday that when the case in the fridge runs out, I'll keep them out of the house. So that gives me a day or two to find the agave nectar and stevia. I have the green tea, I just haven't tried it iced before. Maybe some juice too and lime seltzer water....
When left to my own devices, I really will just drink the Diet Cokes continuously and feel worse and worse as I do.
This is apparently a much more interesting topic than the impact of flavonoids on veins!
