Oh wow, my time to shine!
Grapefruit juice combined with Vitamin D drops caused me a lasting headache, which, in hindsight, was like a sinus infection without the sinus infection part, but including the typically incredibly stiff neck.
Lasting here means a whole month. One month of continuous headache. Not headaches. One gigantic headache. Mostly 7/10, two times 9/10, at which points we called the ambulance because I couldn't take it anymore.
Don't ever mix grapefruit juice with anything.
- justusthane 6y agoThat’s fascinating. Do you mean that you mixed vitamin D with grapefruit juice once and got a headache that lasted a month? Or were you continuing to drink grapefruit juice and take D during that month? How much vitamin D were you taking? How much time was there between taking vitamin D and drinking grapefruit juice?
- MrYellowP 6y agoI had a grapefruit-juice phase (those only lasted days) and drank pretty much nothing else. I took the vitamin D for reasons I forgot. There was no time in between taking it and drinking the juice. It was what I drank most of the day. One can take a few of these drops (liquid, in case that's unclear) every day, but that makes my stomach gas up massively for some reason. One can take them once a week, too, but then he had to take the whole weekly dosage at once. Apparently it doesn't matter. I don't remember how much it was, but I'm talking about one or two dozen water droplets here. I'm sorry, I don't know how to express this any better. The headache started maybe two hours later.
- justusthane 6y agoIf I'm understanding you correctly, there was a period of a few days where you were both drinking grapefruit juice and taking vitamin D, and your headache lasted for a month afterwards?
- MrYellowP 6y agoYes, I took a weekly dosage of vitamin D once during these days. It was a friday afternoon in february or march. I remember this, because during that time I had a few dentist visits scheduled, which I cancelled.

- krageon 6y agoThey phoned an ambulance twice, so if it was something fairly obvious like this it's a reasonable assumption that would have come to light at the hospital.
