Yes, good luck with the side effects

Is diarrhea a major side effect of the Big 3? My ID physician prescribed Cholestramine to combat the continuous diarrhea I have been experiencing. So far, I have seen little to no improvement, and I feel so weak.

I had a change in the color of my urine with the big three. I got diarrhea from another antibiotic that I got that finally cleared a secondary infection that started this whole thing. I showed having pneumonia that wasn't responding to antibiotics. They did a bronchial wash and 6 weeks later had the MAC diagnosis. I am off all antibiotics because none of the doctors have responded to the pharmacy to refill them. The only issue is my MAC had spread during the 2 months between x-rays. I have an appointment with the infectious disease doctor and am awaiting one with a specialist. Maybe they are waiting until I get in with the ID doctor. None of them know I have started working on a specialist yet.
