My head hurts. I felt all virtuous today because I was jonesing for soda, so I went and got a 2-liter of Pepsi One (sweetened with Splenda) instead of the real stuff -- which was what I actually wanted. One opthalmic migraine and headache later (not a full-blown one, thank God) + 1 Google search and a thread on Tangency and I've come to find out that there's a number of people for whom Splenda seems to act as a trigger. I seem to be one of them.
See, I've been having these a lot more frequently in the past few months... since I started at MS, really. I thought that was a bit odd, but I hadn't really noticed it -- until, that is, today. See, they've got this sparkling water stuff I really like that I've been using as a soda substitute that's sweetened with -- you guessed it -- Splenda. Add in that I started trying to get off proper soda by using Splenda-sweetened diet sodas as well (and was doing a pretty good job of it too) and suddenly my intake had skyrocketed along with the number of migraines.
Damn. So much for that clever plan.
