It's good that you can tolerate it. Some days I can. I'm just not sure if it helps me or causes more upset to my system that it's worth. My doc says that so many of his patients can't handle it, so I just don't know yet what my final decision will be.

I am having trouble tolerating 3%. At one moment it loosened nose mucus, sinus mucus via throat and lung mucus. I felt I was drowning and my 02 dropped briefly to 87. It was so scary I have been reluctant to restart but maybe tomorrow! I have very loose coughing mucus anyway so I am not too worried about avoiding the sodium for a bit.

I know how you feel. I wonder if one has to get off of ethambutol for eye problems for instance, are the other two meds sufficient to kill the bugs?
