I was on Arikayce for 2 years. Had 11 consecutive negative sputum cultures, then back to positive. Currently on my second PICC line with Omadacycline and Amikacin, oral Azithromycin Clofazimine. Ethambutol and Rifampin. I will go back on Arikayce in a few weeks. Testing shows susceptible to all these medications

How does your body handle that many drugs?

@reneemc I am on month 9 testing negative and can image the heartbreak and frustration you felt when you got that positive after 11 months of negative. Fingers crossed this new antibiotic “cocktail” is successful for you. Hope you are able to keep your spirits up despite the setback. I know it can be hard some days. 🙏❤️
