Side effects of drugs

I have only been on the meds since June 15 so I have limited experience but so far I can share that I also have sore muscles and joints and fatigue after starting the big 3. The fatigue is much less today than when I started. I still have sore muscles and joints although that is better during the day but it is worse at night in bed. I feel it mostly in my legs and back.

Thank you, Mary. I feel better knowing this. Hope we won’t feel this was the whole year.

I am also extremely itchy, especially my back, scalp and legs. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this?

Not me. Yet. Only been on the meds for a week.

Same here! Although, I am grateful it isn't something worse that would mean having to stop the antibiotics. I wouldn't want to go back to severe MAC symptoms and definitely don't want to see any additional lung damage! We can do this!!

I felt worse before the big 3. My initial symptoms were very bad along with pneumonia also.

Mary I have been on antibiotics for 16 months and even now sometimes my hands, and arms get itchy. I put some Benadryl cream and it helps in my case. At the beginning my feet tingled but vitB12 helped.

You had it bad, Nick. I had no symptoms since mine was caught early so it was the treatment that caused me to feel sick.

@rstel7272 Same here, I too had very bad symptoms and pneumonia. The itching is bothersome but it could be far worse.
