Hi, did you have to discontinue the antibiotics? As I replied earlier, I am three months from my 18 month treatment with the big three. I am hopeful I can complete the course, but I am miserable with terrible nausea and loading every time I eat something.

@yaduhyaduhsquawk When did you test negative? Due to the same side effects you report, as well as continuing wight loss and profound fatigue, my ID doc, in consultation with the pulmonologist, stopped antibiotics at that point, provided I do twice a day 7% saline with airway clearance. That was in December 2019, and I have tested negative for the last 6 years. Now I nebulize saline about once a week, do daily airway clearance, and have remained negative for NTM and bronchiectasis is stable.
Do you use 7% saline?
