Leanne, I didn't have a headache but who knows. I think if there

is a connection it will pass quickly.

On

another subject, can I ask you to increase the size of your font in

your emails, they are hard to read. <:-| Thanks, Tim

Hello all,

I just started NAC on Monday - 1200 mgs per day - one in the am and

one

at dinner. I'm not sure if I feel anything yet. I have

been able to

bring up a little bit of mucus in the morning. Sorry for being

gross.

Psychologically it makes me feel better. I have heard that it

takes

about 6 weeks to see any change. Also, does anyone have any

headaches

as a result of taking this? I have a weird pain in the back of

my head

on the right side. It seemed to have started right after I

started

taking the NAC. It may be coincidence - it may be

sinuses....???

Leanne, I am at the 6 week point right now with taking NAC and have some mornings when I do nothing more than cough up stuff and other mornings/evenings when there is much less stuff. I have had no problems being on 1800 mg daily. If fact, I find that I have fewer headaches, perhaps just a fluke - not sure.

Peggy,

What did the Dr. say how the NAC helps IPF/PF patients?

I have choked a very few times on foods too, to the point where it just took what little breathe I have away. Scary!

Lesson learned: Wash cake crumbs down with lots of milk!!!

I rejoice with you on the good reports from the Dr. Love ya'.

Do you have a cough? Are you taking NAC ?

Peg, I have a slight cough...usually when I talk for a long length of time, I cough. It's not a continual just ever so often. When I went for my transplant evealuation, the Dr. said he'd like me to loose an additional 60 lbs, to fit in to the required criteria, and had I tried the acummune, and was I on NAC ? I told him the insurance would not pay for the acummune, and what was NAC? He said thay many IPF/IP patients have had great results recently with NAC. Wrote it all down for me and said it coulds be purchased at any GNC Store. I have been on it ever since. I pay about $12.99 for 60-600mg. purchased from GNC. Fortunatly, I have not ever coughed up any phlem. NAC: N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine. I thought it was strange that there is nothing on the bottle of NAC except, Directions: As a dietary supplement, take one to two capsules daily. Also the Supplemental Facts are there. That's basically all. Nothing is mentioned about how it helps IPF/PF., or any other disease. So much for advertisement.

Question, Do any of you choke easily ? Yes, Peggy....why is that. I have dry mouth and I always try to drink water before I eat....(but I would be excited about cake) That seems to help, but I have also thought I would die choking....what is going on....my doc used to ask me if I was having problems swallowing...never knew why he asked...does anyone know?

I know you have probably all heard this before....but before you start taking anything....whether it is over the counter or a "natural" product, be sure your doctor and/or pharmacist knows all the medications you are taking. A lot of prescriptions that we take are based on herbs....so they can interact with other medications....they can increase or decrease their action.

HI GROUP; Diane is right. I am on about 12 RX drugs. You can look up any drug and the information with your search eng. My wife is a nurse and gets a drug book every year.

Gray, Learned not all herbs work. You can have a reaction from them as well as from any Rx. If you are allergic to flowers, mushrooms etc. you will react to the herbs as well.Believe me I learned the hard way.Allways check, it could be a matter of life or death if you go into antiphaltic shock.

Grey,

The doc is right. There is no FDA regulations on herbal supplements. There could be anything in the capsules. I have always stayed away from all that, but I am going to ask the doc about NAC. How would you know which brand to trust?

Sheila,

I had those same symptoms and I have been diagnosed with Bronchiectasis. Bronch is a rare disease, but is somewhat common to end stage PF. I have been diagnosed about two years, now. I was showing symptoms for awhile before they did the CT. It is a miserable addition. I work really hard to keep the mucus hacked out. I use a percussion VEST and use nebulizers with various meds 4 times a day. Also postural drainage. Your family should ask the doc about this. If he is having infections...it could be developing.

It gets diagnosed as Bronchitis, etc. My doctor knew from the symptoms that I was having and the CT confirmed it.

I know your Dad is appreciative of your concern and kindness. I hope they get to have a good trip.

Hugs,

[Guest guest]

Joyce,

Thanks? for your response. If I may, I have some questions for you:

1. What medications are you on?

2. How did you have this Bronchiectasis diagnosed? My dad is not a candidate

for any type of biopsy as he has had heart bypass 3 times & they felt it was

too much of a risk for him.

3. Is the percussion vest only used with the bronchiectasis diagnosis?

Dad doesn't seem to have trouble with the mucus on an everyday basis---the

problem starts with him either running a fever and/or coughing up brown

'junk' as he calls it. That usually leads to a round of antibiotic and some

solumedrol (sp?) which I think is a steroid. It (the solumedrol) seems to

help right away. Then he's usually good for two or three weeks until it all

happens again.

I think he is still on prednisone, which I am gathering from this group is

not a great thing---it has thrown him into diabetes---which seems to have

happened to several people in this group. Dad also takes Imuron (sp?) which

I guess is a rather new thing.

I'm really confused by a lot of this stuff. Dad is really getting depressed

from this as he always thought his heart trouble would be the thing that

would be the death of him & now he is battling this beast. He is just

having a hard time accepting that this is probably going to be the thing

that kills him. Of course, so are we all. It is rather disheartening that

he has been able to adapt his life after all the heart trouble over the past

30 years--first heart attack @ 39 & he will be 70 in July----and that this

disease comes out of the blue & is stopping him in his tracks. After losing

my 44 year old husband to colon cancer I have learned that no one should

take their life for granted---LIVE your life for as long as you have it!

Sorry for the long post------THANKS to all for your responses to my

inquiries & for your support.

Sheila Strong

Sheila,

Bronchiectasis is diagnosed with CT scan, but radiology needs to be told by pulmonologist to look for it. I had no idea what it was even when he told me. He showed me a plastic model and explained a lot. But until I searched it out I really didn't get it. A good site is: http://www.lung.ca/diseases-maladies/a-z/bronchiectasis-bronchiectasie/index_e.php

The brown stuff is indicating some sort of infection or fungal growth. Have they done a sputum culture? They treat different bacterias, etc. with different antibiotics.

Imuran has been around awhile. I took it for awhile, but could not tolerate it. I then began taking Cellcept (which the insurance company is now refusing to refill after six years). It has had no side effects. Your dad may tolerate it fine.

Other medications for lung dissease are Musinex (quaifenex) to thin mucus, low dose prednisone, nebulizers (Duo Neb, Acetylcysteine that thins out mucus, Pulmicort). I have a flutter valve which works wonders to bring up mucus. And The VEST. Yes, they use the vest for many lung conditions where excess mucus is present. http://thevest.com/ You have to get a prescription from doctor. Postural drainage is a must.

Sheila, my heart breaks for you in the loss of your young husband. You certainly have had your crosses to bear. I can see that you love your dad very much. If he does have Bronch, he can get treatment. I am on a support group for that also and many of the people are older. Several have pulmonary fibrosis also.

Take care of you

Joyce

He is starting to have trouble with mucus, then it usually turns into bronchitis unless they catch it early when he starts running a fever,

like they have now.Thanks for all your help. I've saved lots of posts from this group to print out for my parents as soon as my printer is working again!By the way--I just found out that my cousin who is a year older than me-she is 49--was diagnosed with PF a year ago. She has been in the Air Force for 20+ years & they think it may be from exposure to chemicals in Desert Storm & other places she has been worldwide. She will be here from California this weekend, so I hope to find out more from her. Think she is a little worried now that she knows the kind of trouble that my dad is having.And---how is it that I can tell her how to sign on to this group? Can't even remember how I got on here to start with.THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL YOUR HELP! :)Sheila Strong
