Going back on GSH full time

Diane

New member
I started using oral GSH a little over 5 years ago. I had pretty good results with it....weight gain, energy boost, pft's went up a bit, got sick less often and when i did get sick it wasnt as severe . I was taking 4000 mg. per day(1000mg. 4 times a day spaced about 4 hours apart) I was on it for a while and only started to lessen the dose ( to 1500 mg.) for financial reasons . When i was diagnosed with the aspergilloma ( fungus ball) i dramatically lowered the dose to 500 mg once a day, due to the idea that if you have a yeast problem you shouldnt take GSH.
Well the past year or so i have been having a hard time staying well and these last two hospitalizations April of this year and also this month have landed me on oxygen which really scared the crap out of me.
I talked to my Dr. about GSH and told him about my results with it before and he agreed i should go back on it, but just stay at half the dose i was doing at that time (which would be 2000 mg. per day). I hope and pray this helps me get over this hurdle and helps me to start getting well and staying that way. For the first time in my life i am having trouble gaining weight, but i think that has a lot to do with being in the hospital.... the food is awful and i just can not eat as much as i would like. Plus being on 3 iv antibiotics, and 3 orals at the same time kinda makes my appetite not so great. I remember while i was on GSH my energy level was really good, and my appetite was also good so that will be of great help in getting better.

Hey Diane.

It's so good to see a post from you..

It sounds like a good idea to give the GSH another whirl , especially if you had good results the first time.. I hope it does again..

So you are on 3 iv ABX and 3 oral ABX <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0"> it's no wonder your appetite has decreased, if you said it didn't i would have been shocked..

Feel better and let us know how the GSH goes..
