Brinsupri experience after 3+ months

After I read another post it’s possible that the extra pounds I gained a big appetite I have might be the side effect of brinsupri. So far I don’t complain because I am happy with this, but yes when I think about it I think about food a lot especially at night. On the other hand may be I am making up for what I lost during Mac treatment( I ended with being 98 ponds)

@lilianna It is so hard to remember certain aspects of what each of us post. You answered my thought when you said your mucus went from green to clear. So you did the MAC medications, the big three, before starting the Brinsupri. I zeroed in on that because I went from green 'mucus plugs" to light yellow to near white mucus plugs along with loose yellow mucus. That is what I see in my clear solo cup that I clear up and out of me....with the clear solo cup I can see what is coming up and out.
I would imagine the infection medications helped clear the infection and helped to change the color of the mucus. As told often, I have not done the antibiotics. Watchful waiting with a low load of intercellular is what I decided.
I have only been able to gain about 7 lbs after having gone down to 94. What a difference a few pounds make in being steady on my feet....no close trip and fall spells anymore.
Glad to hear the positive aspects for you.
