I might be a big fat dork (or extra skinny one as the case
may be). I was reading that there may or may not be a risk of too much
Vitamin C supplementation in the body causing kidney stones. (My
brother went through that, and I've heard horrible, awful things about kidney
stones so I was anxious to avoid them.) Even though I've been on
semi-high doses of C for over a year and been fine, I decided to cut back to
1000 mg from 3000 mg. Big mistake. Add to that my overall
depression and my body decided to revolt yesterday. I don't know if
suddenly I caught a bug, got food poisoning, or just willed myself to
self-detonate. I got so sick, chills, uncontrolled crying, upset
stomach, fever, etc. I haven't eaten much in the last 24 hours (READ:
2 bowls of oatmeal) and have lost about 3 pounds. I'm just guessing
since I don't own a scale.
I also noticed a new spot on my chest which is
making me think about calling my dermatologist. I'm sure 2 days of
lowered C wouldn't be enough to let a skin cancer grow like that (well
almost sure), but it makes me wonder. I'm so sick of all of this.
The C was making me feel good about it all and feel healthy. Now, it
scares me because there are
conflicting reports of its safety. Nothing like being one's own
science experiment.
