Vitamin C is water soluble, with dietary excesses not absorbed, and excesses in the blood rapidly excreted in the urine. It exhibits remarkably low toxicity.eVEN IF OVERDOSING , IT CAUSES ONLY DIARRHEA. SO YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE NOT DUE TO VITAMIN C ., THAT TOO AFTER 2 WEEKS OF DOSING.

YOU MUST GET YOUR COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT DONE SOON. hAIR LOSS, SPINE PROBLEMS,BONE PAINS, ERECTILE PROBLEMS POINT TO SOME DISEASE PROCESS , MAY BE HAEMATOLOGICAL.
ALSO GET YOUR LIVER AND SPLEEN EXAMINED BY A PHYSICIAN TO SEE IF THEY ARE ENLARGED, AND IF NECESSARY, YOUR DOC. MAY ASK FOR BONE MARROW EXAMINATION ALSO.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  Dr. Dr. Praveen Tayal's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The loss of hair is not likely to be due to a vitamin C deficiency. The symptoms you had are also not related to vitamin C overdose. You need to consult a psychotherapist for proper treatment and counselling.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
