I've cut and pasted most of the article below due to the advertising ...
(My two-penneth is...I've avoided aspartame for decades for this reason...plus avoiding toxic household chemicals where I can and personal products which contain toxins which are 'said to be safe'. They may be for some people (until they're not)... But if there's an imbalance in the body, why risk stressing the body further, if it has to cope with elimination of chemical toxins, as well as an underlying health condition?
Sometimes its little pieces of the jigsaw that come together to form the whole picture, illness is rarely about just 1 thing. And often the environment and what we eat is a major player too, but it is an ongoing journey and I appreciate, its not always easy making other choices )
"Fibromyalgia and Aspartame

The potential benefit of eliminating this sweetener from their diet can be reduction of symptoms. This is not only applicable to those suffering from fibromyalgia but also people with other chronic diseases.
Since the cause of fibromyalgia is not known, the manner by which these individuals experienced regression of symptoms can only be speculated. Yet, many believe that fibro patients can benefit from eliminating aspartame .
The potential benefit of eliminating this sweetener from their diet can be reduction of symptoms. This is not only applicable to those suffering from fibromyalgia but also people with other chronic diseases.
Nevertheless, some experts believe that doctors should consider asking their fibro patients if they consume aspartame. This could be a lead to the cause of this mysterious condition.
Although several studies show that aspartame is safe for humans to consume, there have been reported cases about its potential link to fibromyalgia...
