Does anyone else have neuropathy?

@cd33 and @happyhealthme and all others - There is a weight-based table doctors follow when prescribing ethambutol. There is also a different dosage level for daily and 3X weekly schedules. There are also other considerations for the doctor including disease severity.
If you have a question about how much of any drug you are prescribed, please consult your doctor.

Thank you Sue. This response regarding the dosage is the first time I’ve realized the dosages could be different for daily vs 3 times weekly. I was considering asking my new Dr who I start with next week about switching to 3 days but if it’s for a higher dose that gives me pause.

Of course we understand that, we are just sharing our own experiences! Thanks for your input. Every doctor has different protocols too!
