@tw508 with me I had no breaks. At 11month of being on it, I started getting bruises. I ignored that for a week until the bruises started getting very purple and green on torso legs and arms and thought I better send an email and ask about it. Got a call at 10pm to go straight to emergency. So you see it affects us all differently. It to date after ceasing rifampicin all is good.

@cd33 Interesting, since I feel like it was IgM rather than IgG that precipitates the crisis. But as you say, we're all different.
I have read there is a related drug that is safe to take, but I'm sure not interested in trying it anytime soon.
