I have Mycobacterium Abscesses. I should be starting Arikayce, Linezolid, and Nuzyra this week. Linezolid is a nasty drug but the MAB is not resistant to it, along with the Arikayce. Yes, I know it's not a stand-alone drug, but it is the biggest gun in my arsenal, with an S8. I just feel blessed that my insurance is covering (out of pocket is $15,700 for 28 day supply). The Nuzyra was denied and is $7700/month-working on that one. Linezolid is just $60/month. Thanks for your input, I sure wish I could take macrolides. Kathy
