My pharmacy dr said one of the antibiotics causes your sweat, tears, etc to turn orange. That could be the bronze skin symptom.<br />
<br />
What 5 antibiotics are you on? For 1 year I was on 3 meds, didn't help,<br />
following year put on ,clarithromyacin, ehtambutol and rifabutin. That<br />
didn't do it. Other problems are surfacing and so I was taken off those 3<br />
meds for now. My skin is bronze in color, everyone thinks I am "tanning"!<br />
We have to figure what is causing that. Also have extremely dry flaky<br />
skin and am tired and having difficulty gaining weight.<br />
I have the bronchietatsis too. My problem, I don't walk due to problem<br />
feet. Wish you well.<br />
