I have been on the big 3 for three years and in some ways worse now than three years ago. I went from 125 lbs to 94 lbs last year and am seriously dizzy all the time - enough that I passed out once. I’ve seen NAC mentioned on here a few times and ordered it from Amazon two months ago. It is supplement to build up our immune systems which is important when fighting MAC. My daughter who is a 32+ year RN - and a great one - told me a year ago to take Mullein. It is a supplement to support respiratory and LUNG system. I wouldn’t use acupuncture only because it doesn’t make sense to me since I am fighting a disease encased in my lungs. I have learned more from this site than I had learned in 3 years from my pulmonologist. It’s not that my pulmonologist didn’t know but rather that he didn’t know how much to disclose that I could handle. I have a bacterial infection in my lungs that is not curable (the best we can hope for is remission). What would work for one of us might not someone else. After 3 long years on the big 3 of which one affects my sight and another my hearing my pulmonologist asked how I felt about going off the big 3 and giving my body a rest. So effective this week I am off the big 3 and he will do a bronchoscopy on June 8 and giving that culture 6 weeks to grow I see him again on Aug 11 to discuss what we do going forward. When I looked up the three meds I found a side effect for each one is severe dizziness. I am becoming a recluse fearing to go out because of coughing up green mucous all the time and walking like a drunk person - and the dizziness is that severe for me.
