Thank you. It's horrible as you know well. Will get some ginger tea and ginger candy and ginger beer or ginger ale. Food does not taste good and some of it tastes absolutely horrible. Had some yogurt and muesli this morning - but the yoghurt tasted dreadful. Had bread for dinner. My coffee is tasting horrible too. Something I usually really enjoy. Usually love salads and fish - but honestly just want to eat bread or carbs right now. So wish I could get rid of this dreadful taste in my mouth all day. I usually get such pleasure from good food - I'm a bit of a foodie and love fresh and delicious food normally. Have you had any experience at something that works for getting rid of the terrible taste in the mouth? It's not metallic perse - but just feels like I want to throw up all the time. It is worst just after taking the meds of course. Thank you.

I agree with using probiotics. I prefer drinking a bit of Kefir (flavored liquid yogurt) throughout the day (yes, I swig out of the bottle!) I have been on Azithromycin and Ethambutol for 6 months now. I also nebulize with either a Placebo or Amikacin (Clinical study). Anxiety and being tired are my worst daily symptoms, thank fully I seem to be tolerating the drugs. I have stopped losing weight and homemade soup, salads, eggs, tuna fish and cereal are my main diet along with trying NOT to eat anything with preservatives. I switched from coffee to decaffeinated Green Tea. I have read that Lemon Drop hard candies help. It does get better, and the forums are helpful.
