In shock after MAC diagnosis

My treatment was three antibiotics three days a week (Mon, Wed and Fri). Took azithromycin and ethambutol with breakfast; took rifampin an hour before lunch. I had probiotics everyday. I lost ~10 pounds during one year treatment. The treatment was not pleasant, however, it was manageable. Yogurt is a good snack.

@catalin I am afraid to ask BUT......what are the side effects that make you say the treatment is not pleasant. I think I remember not wanting to take Rafampin when I was under Lyme care....we did another drug instead. Don’t have that option with this I know.
