Is there any successful story?

I took 200mg daily clofazimine, with 250mg azithromycin, 1000 mg ethambutol daily. I am also using amikacin inhaled three times a week. I will finish six months soon and so far so good. I am in my 40s so it helps a lot.

I agree with carolj68 that Clofazimine has less side effects. I became a little bit darker after taking this medicine for 1 month and my skin became dryer and a little easier to be cut so far. It is better to take this medicine with food.

@helen1000 did you start with clofazimine/azithromycin/ethambutol daily, or did you start with rifampin/azithromycin/ethambutol daily, and at some point swap out the rifampin with clofazimine? Also, did you start with both the oral antibiotics and inhaled amikacin, or was the amikacin added at some later time?
