All so interesting. I have a 2cm hiatal hernia and GERD. I have bronchiectasis and had treatment for NTM. Cleared that but a year later it has returned. This time they say it is Abscessus. They think they will put me on Amikaycin. I do not like the side effects associated with that. I was bad enough when I was on the 'big 3' every day for 14 months! Has anyone has Amikaycin and avoided deafness and kidney damage? I still work and not want to have to take time off. Onwards and upwards. Good luck to everybody.
