Thanks for all this information! After only four days off the Rifampin, I am feeling better. I am praying that the two drug regimen will work and my plan is to take a two month holiday from worrying.

@kayskid Ah, the worry factor. Worry is my middle name! If there is something to worry about, I am all over it like white on rice! With MAC we only have a certain amount of control, and that’s basically to do the treatment or not to do the treatment and then hope for the best. And time marches on. I have found in life that the things we worry about, most often, aren’t the things that come to fruition. Sometimes though it’s hard to turn off the hamster on the wheel in our heads. Speaking about taking a break from worry tells me that you can do it! A previous mentor had a little finger play she would repeatedly do by alternately touching each finger to the thumb and saying, “ I am at peace.” This little exercise is also probably good for arthritic fingers. Don’t forget, it takes just as much effort to worry as it does not to worry! Sounds like a good plan! irene5

Good morning Kay! I like that plan of yours to take a break from worry. Here is my favorite saying:" Don't let the worries of tomorrow steal from the joys of today."

@kayskid, worry is such a nasty thing, I know how you feel,now you have your plan you can worry less, I hope you get to have worry free months ahead. Take care Heather
