I take 1 every second day. I have tried to stop taking arithromycin but i am still busy working and infect myself i believe. The longest i went without would be about a month and i can feel my 2 spots in my lung and start to feel rough and congested. I do the .7% salt inhaling morning and night. It really does help.My Dr is great. He allows me to have the drug on hand. Before by the time I got into see someone I was really sick.Thanks to everyone on the forum it has been a great help.

Garry, our daily routines are very similar. Nice to have a doc that recognizes that you’re a responsible adult.

btw, I have a daughter and son-in-law in Vernon, a bit east of you I’d guess. Also, are you doing anything diet-wise to counteract the threat antibiotics pose to your microbiome? To that end, I include some fermented food in my daily diet. Don

Garry, this may be a tough assignment. In a recent post you described the “feeling” in your lungs as” rough and congested.” I’d welcome any further amplification of your subjective experience of those moments. My curiosity grows from the apparent absence of a similar feeling. My discomfort seems limited to my throat. Thanks for any input. Don
