Please do! I use vitamin C religiously and believe it helps protect my face from sun--a bit. I also do not go out much after 10am and before 4pm............I hate the restrictions, but hate the red bumpy face too.

@jodyjazz Well, just started the cranberry juice this morning. Yes, it's tart, but I like tart. They do say it could cause a little stomach upset, and yes, I certainly felt something, but nothing bad. After breakfast, it passed. So, I'm on my way! July 3rd I'll know if it's working at keeping my platelet count normal and keeping my bloopressure normal, as well. Actually, where blood pressure is concerned, I'll be seeing results as I go, since I'm checking my bloodpressure at home daily.

@jodyjazz You mentioned "red bumpy face." Are you getting tiny white bumps that look like zits and that can be popped or scraped off with your fingernails? If so, me, too.
