I have also suffered from MAC for too many years. I am on my second round of the three antibiotics. A symptom I get when there seems to be a flare up are joints and tissue that feel like shards of glass. My tong and throat get sensitive and many of my joints get very stiff. Is this all from the Mac or might I have another issue?

Rifabutin made my joints hurt so I was changed to rifampin and that was better.

@chamberlayne you may have another issue than MAC ! You may want to check swallowing problems check video deglutition.  You may also do a research on h web by searching the cause for your symptoms.  That could help! I do think it could be another issue than

the MAC!  Nick 52
