Hi there
I started 600 mg NAC last week and started to feel very strange (chesty, sinus pain,nausea,headache) then since increasing to 1200mg two days ago my heart has started really pounding and I seem to be getting a fluctuating flare-up of a whole bunch of old MS symptoms.

From the bits I've read on the forum so far I expected something of a reaction but does this sound normal - I could use a wee bit of reassurance...

Sounds like you are having the NAC reaction that suggests you are CPn positive. Have you been to the CPn Help website? Ken

Yes, thanks Ken - I've been to CPn help and realised a reaction is actually quite a good sign - I just got a bit freaked out that my heart was about to explode! - but it's settled down a bit now.

Thanks so much for your account of Kim's treatment I have been reading the story avidly (but in small chunks due to brain fog!)
