A few weeks ago an article started circulating on social media that everyone needed to take Vitamin C or an immune booster to help prevent acquiring the virus. I didn't think much of it, as I've heard many specialists say unless your body needs a supplement the only thing you gain is expensive pee.
Then last week Bobby was nearly out of his. Like most paralyzed people, he takes Vitamin C daily because of chronic infection. Combined with an antibiotic, it holds things at bay. Imagine my surprise when I get to the store to find the Vitamin aisle 90% empty.
I purchased the next to last bottle of what they had, and neither the pharmacist nor I were thrilled with it.
Top three ingredients are sugar, sugar, and water. Not exactly what the kidneys need.
Thankfully my husband is not a griper. He laughed last night and said it was the best tasting Vit C he's ever taken.
My Mom, who is fighting her 4th UTI for the year is facing the same problem.
I understand people are scared, but I don't understand buying medications you don't need and preventing those who DO need it from taking it. It's selfish and stupid.
I'm ready for the hoarding and insanity to end. Self-isolating I understand, but the hoarding I simply don't get.
