I had Covid twice in 1 year-hospitalizations both times. 2nd time I had pneumonia. I have lots of Long Covid symptoms, (fatigue, muscle pain, etc). Have been of oxygen with activity since 2nd Covid. Terrible cough, and diagnosed with bronchiectasis and then MAC.
Tree in bud CT’s with positive sputum. When I think of 18+ months of feeling so sick with the treatment, I’m not sure I can do it.

How are you taking them? All together or spaced out? With food? And are you taking probiotics? Are you 3x per week or daily. Your Dr may be able to adjust things as needed to help. Agree they are difficult to tolerate for many people. My ID Dr has me space them out instead of taking them all at once and I do feel like taking the probiotics helps. He did provide guidance for a FODMAP diet if needed but I haven’t gone that route. Good luck, it’s tough and you’re in good company with lots of support here.
