For those taking NAC

I have been taking oral NAC for bout 5 months now, one thing I always worried about was the quality of the stuff, I was think today that if I got a rx for Mucomyst to take orally rather than inhaled not only would I be able to ensure the quality, but also get it cheaper.

Just a thought.

That sounds great. When I was younger, I stopped taking mucomyst because I would cough up some blood. I cannot say for sure if it was from the muco but I am very sorry for not trying it again. The folks I know who stayed on muco did very well with their cf and are in their forties without needing a transplant.

I had a few doctors look puzzled at me when they heard I was no longer on muco. When I had my last transplant a doctor wanted to give me the muco to drink because it helps you to move your bowels.

Chaggie are you going to drink it and also inhale this? Sounds like a great idea if you do. Good luck

Hey guy's i just posted this on Amy's blog, and just saw this new post on taking NAC.

I just wanted to inform you that people who take NAC supplements should drink 6-8 glasses of water daily to prevent what's called, CYSTINE RENAL STONES (note) they are rare.

The site i got this info from is www.pdrhealth.com

if you're not drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day and you have CF, your lungs and sputum are severely dehydrated and you're in a world of trouble anyway.

that should be a baseline for all CFers, NAC or not....

For transplant patients too<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Since my sinuses are CF, I have to keep my entire body hydrated. There is a difference when I wake up in the morning and have not had to anything drink. Once the water goes down, I feel more awake and energized.
