aspergillus fumigatus
Good morning,
I am treated for MAC (since April 2023 take Azithromycin, clofazimine, in the meantime Amikacin IV-could not tolerate rifabutin (liver), last visit at NJH in January 2024 added Ethambutol: I was also diagnosed in September with pseudomonas- not treated, and last month found out that the fungal culture sent from NJH showed aspergillus fumigatum. In February I had sinus infection, coughed, had some green mucus (was prescribed steroids for 5 days and then 10 days of antibiotic for sinus. Since February I feel very, very tired, every day around 11 am I am exhausted, have to lay down and rest; I dont cough a lot though after the infection is gone; my question is -has anybody experienced that terrible tiredness; is it from ethambutol or from bacteria; if you had/had aspergillus f. or pseudomonas aeuroginosa, or take ethambutol please share with me how it made you feel and what was done with it. I do not have other symptoms- no fever, chills, excessive mucus just fatigue. I am seeing my Id doctor this week so I hope to get some answers. Thank you.

I'm glad things are going decent for you.
I could be doing a lot worse than I am, so I'm happy. Thank you for replying.
