Is anyone taking Nuzyra for M. Abscesses or other?

Hi, I have been treated for Abscsses since June 2025. Recently taken off IV Amikacin because it causes permanent hearing loss. On Nuzyra, Clatithromycin, Aryikayce and Brinsupri. ID doc getting insurance approval for another oral pill. I am not getting better. In fact maybe worse. Is anyone short of breath, coughing and bringing up mucus all day long and on oxygen 24/7?

I am sorry to hear that you are not getting better. Do you have an ID doctor at Mayo? Mayo seems to know the combination of drugs that can help to battle this. When I was taken off the Amikacin due to the hearing loss, I was put on an IV antibiotic called Imipenem. I will not regain my hearing, I am told.
Please keep me updated.
