cmon 90 pills in less than 48 hours? That is just sheer stupidity in my opinion. Most people have to know that would be bad to do.

we had a patient who came in

48 yr old female.
few days ago a patient came in complaining of severe stomache ache.

well, few days prior she had a toothache and decided to not go to the dentist. it gets worse. so then she decided to take tylenol extra strenth. couple of tablets. .. those didnt work. took a couple more. didnt work. repeat.

we figured it out with her. she took about 90 in less than 48 hours. you shouldnt go over 4 grams a day. she took about 22.5 grams in a day. and then again the next day. so she should have been at about 8 grams for two days and she took 45 grams.
so it wasnt a stomach ache. it was her liver that was hurting.
so now her liver is failing. she had no other real diseases. otherwise pretty healthy. she is starting to get fluid belly in her stomach. and starting to show nuerologic damage. she is having a hard time thinking because there is too much nitrogen in her blood stream.
and her kidneys are starting to go next.
its really sad how fast its all happening, and all because of a toothache.

so really people, dont take more than the box says. really really dont.
