What are the symptoms of scurvy?
Question:
Answers:
I too was diagnosed with scurvy many years ago while in a dorm and living off mac and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches, cooked on the hotplate.
My gums were bleeding even when I bit into toast. They didn't feel "spongy" to me, and I did not notice any of the other listed "symptoms". I was so sure I had leukemia, went to dentist who said it was scurvy. I was P.O'd at him, went and got vit C pills just to "show" him it wasn't that. Guess what? It worked, I was so embarrassed.
Other Answers:
bowed legs, spots on the skin and spungy gums
