New Diagnosis of MAC/MAI & I'm scared

I have been on the meds for 8 months. I haven't had the nasty gut side effects. I do have ringing in the ears and I can't get to an audiologist because of COVID and my thyroid meds are messed up. My latest side effect is my white blood count is getting lower. My doctors are staying on top of it though. I have had numerous phone calls and a teleconference. I get monthly blood work still and I do have to go in a hospital which makes me nervous. We have many cases due to meat packing plants in our area.

@tinaesims I have done the same with my ID doctors and actually have to go for a thyroid check as well. I have held off on the monthly blood work because Massachusetts has so many COVID19 cases, but probably should get on that. I am glad you have had few side effects. That is wonderful. irene5
