Day 42 of the antibiotic protocol! Being on the antibioticsi (Dox + Zithi) is easy for me so far. The only noticible effect is a good one; more regular #2s. If yer colon ain't happy, ain't nobody happy 8).
I have split the antibiotics into 2 groups, and I take 'em within an hour of 3:30 AM and PM.
I take (only) 1200 mg of NACi daily; is there reason to increase that?
I'm going to visit the doc tomorrow - should I push for a B12 blood test?
My biggest issue so far is getting Signature changes to 'stick' on this site! If that's my *biggest* issue I'd say things are going well.

So far, so good. Down the line it will get really interesting, I'm sure.
Is there a reason NOT to take 2400 NACi, the usual dose? And B 12 would be interesting, but even more so - and very important - would be your Vit D level. Get the number.
I am on five abxi now and had my bloood done a couple of weeks ago. Incredibly, my liver functions are ALL NORMAL, my Vit D level has dropped from 87 three months ago to 65, even though I take 4000 iu a day. I dropped it to that level three months ago when it got to 87 (finally). I have since gone back up to 6000 a day. I attribute my lf levels to my taking NAC and my good diet - and, of course - all supplementsi. This is hard work, but we hope, if we do a good job, that it will pay off It certainly has for me.
Rica.

Re: 1200mg of NACi - good Q!
Re: 1200mg of NACi - good Q! I'd cite 'lazy/inertia' as the biggest reason!
Stepping it up now...

Lazy I doubt - MSi fatigue
Lazy I doubt - MSi fatigue is unbelievable. Mine is almost all gone, but it took nearly five years. Inertia yes.

I have never taken more than
I have never taken more than 1200 NACi. The Wheldon Protocol calls for 1200-2400 per day. I use the lesser.
