Starting BIG 3 tonight ….

Long read, but here's what works for me. Except for periodic "tired" days, I have zero side effects.
4:30A-Sunrise yoga/Inhaled Amikacin/500 mg Azithromycin with just a sip of water.
530A-Black coffee followed by 8 miles daily run (aka Airway Clearance & Mental Health Care).
730A-Breakfast
8A-500P-Living my full life of daughter, wife, mom, grandma to 4 busy boys, and volunteer work.
5:00P-Inhaled Amikacin followed by dinner.
8:00P-Ethambutol and Rifampin with FULL glass of water.
Also, I've always been an upbeat, positive, glass half full kinda gal, so this "little bump in the road" hasn't stopped me. Just simply tweaked my already very busy and full life. On my "fatigue" days is when I get some crocheting, reading, or baking done plus take a nap. I realize I'm a very lucky 64 yo for having zero side effects from all these meds. Terri

oh and I forgot - do you take Motrin etc for headaches etc.? I forgot to ask if I can take something of the side effects .. ha!

That is quite the schedule! How long have you been taking the Big 3 plus inhaled Amikacin? I'm guessing longer than 6 months since you are on the inhaled Amikacin as well.
