Hi. New here. I recently (finally) found out that because I’m allergic to Formaldehyde I have to avoid Aspartame. But I was already pretty good about avoiding it because I suspected it made me sick. Now I’m very careful.

I get tremors too, and never had any idea why, so you have all given me something to think about. I suspect it does have to do with somehow overcompensating when holding things. A couple of times I’ve also had the delighful experience of reaching for my paper cup at Starbucks and accidentially crushing it, while full, which makes your drink explode very dramatically. The second time if happened I was being extremely careful to pick it up gently, but it happened again anyway. I couldn’t judge the force of my grip. Maybe that’s kind of like clutching things too tightly and ending up with tremors afterward.
