And I'm on M a I trust three Days a week. Besides the diarrohea and the 15th on those three days I sometimes run a low-grade fever… Has anyone else had The low grade fever problem?

Hello Fransav,

I was diagnosed one year ago and I am on the 3 drug cocktail every day since. It is my understanding that a low grade fever is from the illness not the drug. When diagnosed I was running 99-100 for 5 day and they asked me if I previously had fever and night sweats. My doctor still asks about both.
Just my experience.
Kate

Thanks Kate! I've only been on my three drug regimen for close to two months now and it's just been knocking me for a loop. I have the runs every day that I take the meds then the following day I'm too weak to do anything, I'm exhausted, and sometimes I can't go out at all! I'm sooooo fatigued & just feel,as if I have no life! Yeah you've been on the antibiotics for a year, are you feeling any better, do you still get all those horrible side effects? Also, is your MAI still active. Hope you're feeling good and again thank you for answering.
