It's a morph between asthma and some random pulmonary condition. I haven't taken meds for it in years, and for the most part it's "stable", that is to say the condition has not improved, nor has it deteriorated. Now my parents have been telling me to go to the doctor to go get it checked it out. Apparently, all the appointments are months out, and the one referral i did cant be bothered to call back. Which makes me think, i dont really care enough to go get it checked out anymore. I've been taking home supplements, but it looks like the FDA is trying really hard to ban those now (NAC, L-Cysteine) since a couple big box stores are quietly removing the items from their stores(Amazon and Walmart). So screw it, I have god, I have my community, when I die, I die.

Swanson has NAC stock available for reasonable. I just picked up some winter supplements.. I hear you, my younger than me Dr. ((retired)) 6 months ago. I have to believe the smart ones are getting/got the hell out. I’m not in any hurry to find a replacement as I’m not going to the office/hospital any time soon, knock on wood..

Looks like you can still buy NAC from Nowfoods.com. Walmart online carries Now NAC, but shipped from another seller. Ebay has Nutricost NAC.

I understand how you feel about doctoring. I have nothing wrong that a doctor can help with. I take care of myself.

Good luck.

If you decide to make an appointment months out, you can get in sooner by letting the receptionist know that you're willing to take a cancelled appt. People will cancel 24 hrs before their appointment, smart drs will let you steal that spot.

It sucks when you have to make an appointment months in the future. I think it establishes the idea that the dr doesn't really care about you.
