Has anyone ever been cured of MAC?

Oh Ina, that is so miserable. There have been many suggestions over time on dealing with the nausea, ginger capsules, candies or tea helped me. And lots of water.. Also, I ate something every hour, a small piece of fruit, an ounce of cheese, a few crackers,
half of a proteindrink. . Also, taking the meds at bedtime allowed me to sleep through the worst of the nausea.

One bit of curiosity, typically treatment starts with antibiotics 3x per week. Did the doctor explain why they were prescribed daily?

I wish you luck finding a strategy that works for you.

Thank you so much Sue for the suggestions. I had been drinking gingerale but still having trouble eating anything. I was able to speak with my doctor yesterday and he ordered some nausea medicine and also told to stop the everyday meds and try 3x a week. He said he was trying an aggressive approach with the everyday treatment. We are to check in with each other in a week to see how I do with the 3x regimen. May I ask how long you have been taking the drugs? Has your body gotten more used to them? Ina
