Y'all did it again.

First the term mucusy came to me on this forum I do not know from who. It resonated so I posted about it.

Regenallotment shared he or she had a positive experience with NAC and said the first 4 days he or she coughed up a lot of stuff. Glad he or she mentioned that as I would have thought it was getting worse.

On the 5th day I went for a walk to view the foliage changing and there were some stairs and I did some stair work and it was my muscles that complained and not my lungs. Sweet!!!!!

First went to a physician for the mucusy in 1968. Been in an ambulance once. What happens is I cough so much and so hard I tear up the muscles that control my diaphragm. It was diagnosed as Costochondritis at least 12 times. Thing is the pain was no where near my sternum. Guess that question was not on the multiple choice test used for training.

Do I know it is in my past? No. However this is the first time in my life it has gone away in days.

From Wikipedia:

Acetylcysteine, also known as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), is a medication that is used to treat paracetamol overdose and to loosen thick mucus in individuals with chronic bronchopulmonary disorders like pneumonia and bronchitis
