@bayarea58 Do you know if your doctor ordered sensitivities with the AFB culture? At one point I had been on the 3 drug regimen (this was back in 2014, maybe) with Zithromax as one of the drugs. I was on it over a year, taking 500 mg x 2 da/week and 250 mg x 3 da/week. When she finally decided to do another culture with sensitivities it came back as Azithromycin resistant. I was livid. I know things have progressed in the treatment of NTM illnesses, but this ended almost catastrophically for me. Thankfully, I was eventually referred to another doctor who was able to get me back on track and on the road to healing.
