I won't sugar coat it. It took me awhile to get used to the meds. The ethambutal can be hard on the gut. I used to have a couple hours of diarrhea after taking it. I had quite a skin rash after 1 month which required @ 18 days of decreasing steroid. I stopped the meds while on the steroid. Now I take a Benadryl 25mg about 30 minutes before my first dose and make sure I apply SPF 50 if I am going to be in the sun. I take my meds in the evening which allows me to take my usual meds and supplements before noon, so there is no interference from my minerals. I take my Benadryl @ 5pm. Azithromycin at 5:30 with no food. I take the ethambutal 6:30-7 with dinner. I take the Rifampin @ 11pm at bedtime. If I have any GI reaction, it is usually between 8-10pm. I think my body is adjusting because the GI reactions are becoming less and sometimes none at all. About my nodules, I don't know yet. I'll find out after my CT later this month. Good luck on your journey. It does settle into a routine. Let us know how you are doing.
