That does sound like pretty intense side effects and a long time to stay on the meds. Clearly we want to get rid of the aspergillis but always a trade off. I was initially told 12 weeks on Cresemba but will run another set of labs and see my ID Dr next month.
hbcupcake, it sounds to me like you might have an extremely high dosage of vfend. You should have regular blood tests of the voriconazole level in your blood. I added a photo of mine with a good 3.0 level. I am 175 pounds and take 200mg 2X daily. When was your last test and what was the level?
