Mega-doses of Vitamin C WORK

[anotheranon]

Oh yes they do - thank you Geekchick!! I took around 30 500mg tablets last night. According to all medical references, I should have had major stomach upset/vomiting, etc., but did not. Because my immune system is USING it.

I'm a little stuffy and a little warm today, but functioning. Still taking c and echinacea, though not as much as my all out binge last night.

If I am running a fever tomorrow I will not go to my friends party - I will not visit on them what my supervisor so carelessly visited on my office. But I will send D. - no reason he should stay home. Hopefully, however, this will not be the case and I will be able to hang out with my friends.

Glad to hear it seems to be working. Chris said I should've added "you have to keep taking it", which I figured most folks would be able to figure out on their own. ;) He then related a story about the time he was so sick that he consumed 250 (yes, with a zero) grams of vitamin c in a day. Hope you're feeling well enough to come out tomorrow, but we'll definitely understand if you don't and we'll send D. back with your presents. =)

Yes, I gathered that you had to keep on going. I did, but not at the rates of yesterday - D. was very worried I'd overdose and have all the ensuing problems there (kidney problems, bleeding, etc.) So I refrained for his sake.

I am feeling much better and chilled most of the day.

I'm still going to kill my super, though.
