I can't believe I didn't think of this before http://presidiotex.com/aspartame/Facts/Joint_Pain_and_Aspartame/joint_pain_and_aspartame.html
It's the diet soda. Damn. I never considered that it causes joint pain. I went to google and ran a search for "extreme irritability joint pain headache" and that was the first result. It works! next time a phantom ailment comes along, just google your symptoms.
ETA: here's another http://www.nzhealth.net.nz/poisons/aspartame2.shtml
OK so from here on out, only Diet Coke with Splenda, Pepsi One, and 7 Up Plus for me! or...dare I say I will drink water. I think this is definitely worth a shot.

"Computerized correlations between aspartame-associated dry eyes, and "marked memory loss," "severe depression" and "severe mental confusion" were done on the first 362 aspartame reactors who completed the questionnaire."
This is great.
I want to go dump all my diet pop down the drain now in celebration! Further making this a reality is the fact that I have been drinking diet soda like it's water for the last couple of days because I have it in my drawer. This is awesome! I'm so happy I know what is wrong. If I drop the diet pop, maybe I'll have more energy and feel well enough to WANT to work out instead of hate myself all the time. It's definitely worth a shot. the level of depression I've been feeling, this could have easily saved my life.
