All that Vitamin C can take a toll
-
I knew stones were a risk but I figured if it helped prevent COVID then I would take that trade…
Standing on the other side, I think I might want to change that decision…
Oh crap.
-
Uh oh. May they pass quickly.

Sorry to hear that. How much did you take per day? I thought this could only happen with extreme doses...
-
Only had one. Don't want another. I hope you pass this one quickly and the pain goes away.
-
Been there twice. No fun indeed.
Hopefully, it'll pass on its own (most do). Stay hydrated, keep the urine flowing as much as possible.

We have a certain physician here, that recommends beer.
Seems like good advice. You know, doctors know medicine and stuff...

I was going to say that, but alcohol can dehydrate you as well as being a nice diuretic. I suppose if you drink enough, though...

I think I’m one of those lucky few that are highly susceptible. I had one about 8-10 years ago that fortunately only affected me one day (but what a day…). I thought I had one a couple years back but in the end it was diagnosed as dehydration. I thought maybe I was dehydrated again when the symptoms started and have increased my daily water ALOT but the situation has not improved. Going to the doctor on Monday.

What about "near beer" - the de-alcoholized beverage. Same as beer; actually some of the European and local craft brewery near beers are actually quite good.

16 oz of water for every beer should suffice for hydrating, no?

Good luck! Hope it's over soon. Got some pain meds?
