@capletcher Thank you! I'm going to ask my doctor again about getting off Rifampin early (like in a couple weeks, when I see him). Then I'd just be on Azithromycin unless he adds something else.

@rc4mc They undoubtedly will want you on two other drugs, to make sure your body doesn't get desensitized to Azithromycin. My doc told me this week that studies show the efficacy of just two—AZ and Ethambutol—is negligible. Arikayce supposedly has the best result. But they all have side effects of course. I hate taking the drugs but am soldiering on.
