Irene you sound like you are on a good track to getting rid of the bad guy. Thank you Irene that was very helpful for me. I had not talked to anybody that has been on Arikayce. I am coughing more also also!! When you say the big three do you mean Rifampin, Etambutol and azithromycin. I am not on rifampin but I’m on colfazamine probably for the abscessus that I was on prior and I may still have it I’m not sure. I had surgery also in December URL-of lung. Thank you so much for your information Irene! I pray for your continued wellness in the future. Judy
