@gaylewroc Hi and welcome. I took Amikacin for a year on the trial and it was fantastic, only a bit of a sore throat and loss of voice at first no other side effects. Knocked my MAI back to a clear sputum, but it will return.

@gaylewroc So, why are you convinced that it will return? Do you know length of time that usually passes before it returns? Is Amikacin an inhaled antibiotic? Did you still take the other Big 3 along with the Amikacin? Thanks for your help. (I have been on the Big 3 for almost 2 years now, and no clear sputum sample yet.)

@heathert How long did you take Amakicin? And, you just got nodules after 6 months, but no mycobacterium infection yet? Thank you for your help! 🙂
