Am I Overreacting Borderline Chemical Burns
I am freaking out & spiraling but also feeling rightfully upset maybe?
I have been consuming Nuun tablets for a long time but the most recent time I purchased it at Whole Foods Market, it was like a completely different product. It burned the inside of my mouth in what feels like every spot. It is incredibly painful and my throat feels swollen and it’s hard to swallow. I can’t say it is 100 percent the Nuun tablets for the throat but it seems highly likely that it is what burned the heck out of my mouth because of the timeline of the burns.
I feel like the government is just doing weird things with formulary change notifications being unnecessary but I called into Nuun and they said that they didn’t change it. I just don’t know how that could be true because it hasn’t had this effect for the years that I have consumed them. Is that me just being paranoid? They were unhelpful and said that they would do an investigation and get back to me in a month or two. They offered a refund but like I’m good on the $7.00 that they costed, I just want to know why my mouth is in so much pain after days and if it’s going to be like this for a while. I know I should go to the doctor and I’m monitoring it but I have paid enough for appointments this month and I really don’t want to get slapped with an urgent care bill.
Do I need to chill out and not be so worked about this? I feel like a Karen but also like this is so painful and I just want to be able to eat normally again and not be gaslit by companies.
