Advice & Tips
We didn't know, when we started, what to expect. The dyskinesia vanushed in the first week of two pills a week. Since then, I have stopped for two days and nothing happened, which discribes the dyskinesia as due to a build up toxins which I did not wait long enough to build back up again. I'm presently taking one pill a day. One doctor encouraged me, another doctor wanted nothing to do with this trial. NAC is
available over the counter and often prescribed to break up mucus. That's a plus
too! Nobody prescribed it to me.
