Hi Marianne, wow you are great to be able to tolerate 5 antibiotics for your MAC. I was on 3 for 14 months and was only clear for a year and the MAC returned. I found the treatment tough going and my kidneys were damaged by rifanpacin. I did not research the whole thing enough. When I mentioned feeling ill, itchy etc I was told that it was unusual. I am not keen to go back on any antibiotics as they wrecked my gut. I was not told how I could avoid the various side effects plus I lost a lot of weight. I wish you all the best and hope you get through this. This site is great as you can compare notes with others and it gives your peace of mind. I do a lot of airway clearance and I exercise. I feel ok despite having NTM and bronchiectasis. I get very tired but have learned to pace myself.
