For the past 4 months I've noticed my legs and arms are considerably weaker. And after going to the hospital multiple times having all the scans and blood tests nothing came up. I've now been to an osteomyologist and who believes it could be my back but after 3 visits I've had no results. Until I randomly looked up side effects of eating too much watermelon. One of those was muscle problems, at this point I was starting to think this was my problem. You see for the last I would say 7 months I've had a whole watermelon a day. Yes I know that's crazy but I was addicted and I thought it was good for me so I continued. But now I'm starting to think it's causing me trouble. So I've completely cut it from my diet for a while. Is this plausible? And if it is is there something else I can do other than stop eating watermelon to get myself back to normal.

You have my answer. I don't know why you repeat the question.
You said it's possible to be sickI was asking if I could do anything to get rid of it, it didn't answer my question.
I said "You need to study some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right."
It is against the law to offer medical advice when I am not a medical doctor. Doctors have no training in nutrition, so you have to learn it yourself and follow your own advice.
But I can offer you this advice: When you ask a question, consider the entire answer.
I wasn't asking tips on nutrition I was asking if Eating too much watermelon could result in what I'm experiencing. Saying 'read a book' isn't exactly answering my question, but if you don't feel obligated to give me advice because it's 'against the law' you don't have to but not once did you answer my overall question.
I will give you this advice: If you're so worried about being prosecuted or sued for giving out medical advice, don't reply to a question seeking medical advice.
You have lousy manners. Work on that along with the nutrition.
You're very patronising I was trying to be polite throughout the whole thing but honestly you were very rude and blunt in your answers. A simple "I'm sorry I really don't know anything" would have been efficient.
Yeah I know I was very naive with my habits I was delusioned into thinking watermelon Is good for you so eating excess amounts won't do damage to your body.
Ok, well I read up on watermelon and it says too much watermelon can cause damage to the nervous system and muscle weakness. Which is something im experiencing, will it all eventually restore back to normal once I stop eating watermelons for a while or will I have to do something else?
