so my tard bf, lives on a diet of cheese, meat, tums, and cereal. because he thinks he has heartburn, which i'm sure he does, but i also think he loves tums.

ANYWAY. turns out that he's been taking about 10-12 tums a day, at 800-1000 mgs of calcium per tums -- so that's like 10,000+ milligrams of calcium per day, which is WAY OVER what any human should take.

he's been doing this pretty much everyday, with a week or two off here and there.

a couple months down the road, and now he's totally fucked up. it looks like he has arthritis, and it hurts to walk, muscle weakness, lethargy, confusion, trouble going up stairs, etc. and he's fucking 28.

so. i think he has hypercalcemia or osteomalacia. from way too much fucking calcium, and all his joints and muscles are over-calcified and hardened up.

is that even possible?
really what i want to know is what happens if you take like 10-12 of those extra large tums a day, for months... what's the consequence?

i tried googling it. but apparently its all information about seniors and post menopausal women having calcium problems.
really i just need the kr nurses
or someone who knows all about overdosing on anything in your medicine cabinet, which is alot of kr.

idk, but was he pretty constipated?

i used to take viactiv bc i was trying to be a healthy woman & anyways i'm lactose intolerant so i needed more calcium.

but it made me never go shit.

besides viactiv tastes like shit.

btw why the fuck did he do that?

does he just like them?

those um. those smoothie flavored ones. are pretty good.

yes. he does a ton of the smoothie ones.
i think he likes them.
but also, he eats only "man foods".

like chili, spicy chicken, tacos, chips, pastrami, cheese, hamburgers, etc.
so of course, he gets heartburn that's really shitty. on top of regular man heartburn.
hence all the tums.

but he's also of the school that a glass of water, some tums, an advil, or some tussin can cure anything.
really. any disease. just take some tums or tussin with a glass of water -- and you're cured.

my mom likes to suck on tums like candy. it's fucking foul.

but you know. anyways i don't think he's dying. i have been taking tums in ridiculous amounts for anxiety for like 5 months now because whenever i'm having a "heartattack" it's a placebo.

so here's hoping you can't die from them anyway.
