Started Suppliments & NAC did I get a +ve response
Ok My first Blog post so here goes.
I went & ordered some of the recommended supplementsi (at least the ones that were reasonably priced here in the UK) & started taking them a couple of weeks ago along with the NACi in preperation for starting Antibioticsi.
Took 600mg of NAC the first day, 1200mg the second, 1800mg the third. On the third night I woke up and felt strange, I feel like I'm coming down with something I thought & then remembered the NAC Flu. It was quite a pronounced feeling and lasted a few hours till I fell asleep again.
Woke up the next day feeling fine & have had no similar reaction since then and am on 2400mg a day now
However on the 4th night I noticed the pain increased a lot in my sacrum which is my trigger zone and I had to take strong pain killers for the next few nights in order to sleep. It did settle down though after the first week.
So was that it ?? as I read that some people have a major reaction to the NAC I'm not sure ?? but then again according to Dr Carter with uSpA the Cpni is hiding out in my Synovial fluid so perhaps I wont get as strong a response as some others ?
Anyway after the first few days I must admit I'm feeling a bit better than before I started the supplementsi, so far so good.
Suppliments:
NAC 2400mg, B12 Lozenges 3,000mcg, B125 Complex, C 1,000mg, Milk Thistle 500mg, Quercetin 1300mg, D-3 1,000 IU

good luck with your healing
good luck with your healing process SimonT . It was a while ago but I think I ramped up the dosing of NACi a little slower than you. My reactions were "cold" like.
Steady wins the race! & really, expect the unexpected
peace

Welcome, SimonYou seem to be
Welcome, Simon
You seem to be off to a good start. Since you had an NACi response, you have "our" bug.
My beginning was Rifampin and Doxyi, followed three months later by flagyli. I was floored by that and worsened for about a year an a half. Keep reading, especially the Getting Started, and other things here that will come to your path. Have you had your Vit D3 level checked? That is extremely important.
Congratulations on finding a doctor who is willing to learn and work with you. Keep taking all your "stuff" and asking questions.
