I had horrible flu symptoms from rifabutin, my id doc had me take 3 weeks off and try it again with the same effect so I’m just on azithromycin and ethambutol at this time. Hope you feel better.

Thank you…that is very helpful for me. I wondered why the Dr. discontinued the ethambutol instead of the rifabutin. And i see you are seeing an ID doc …is this in conjunction with a pulmonary doctor or just the ID doctor? I am seeing a pulmonary doctor and wondering if I should also consult an ID doctor. Thoughts? Also, may I ask if you are improving with these 2 antibiotics? Thank you!!!
