Q. I have iron-deficiency anemia, my iron level is dangerously low (it's 8.5 and average is between 40-200), yesterday I went to the doctor and she gave me some special iron pills and told me to take them twice a day. With my current condition and taking these pills twice a day (with vitamin C pills), how long do you think it will take for my iron count to go up and my anemia symptoms to begin disappearing?
Thanks! :)

Is there a limit at how much Vitamin C is actually useful?
Q. Im asking because I am sick so my friend gave me Emergen-C that has about 1,600% of your daily vitamin C.
I don't believe you can overdose on Vitamin C, but does your body keep absorbing Vitamin C? Or after like say a few hundred percent does your body just ignore the rest?

A. Although it is rare, vitamin C overdose is possible. Some symptoms include upset stomach & nausea. It can also sometimes cause kidney stones & copper deficiencies
How to tell a doctor I think I have Scurvy?
Q. I mean, I don't want to sound like an idiot going to a hospital and saying "I think I have scurvy"
But I have every single symptom of scurvy, and it fits. Because I only go outside maybe 15 minutes in an entire week, and I haven't drank or taken any vitamin C in god knows how long. So I'm pretty sure that's what I have, any suggestions?

A. Going outside for only 15 minutes a week is a good way to develop vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency leads to calcium deficiency. Vitamin D is key to calcium absorption. Calcium is needed for clotting so bruising is a listed symptom of calcium deficiency. You may have vitamin C deficiency but there are many other bleeding disorders as well to look into.
