Hi anniepie, I took the big 3 about 3 years ago. And I was doing good with no meds after that for about 2 years. This year was not good to me I got sick a lot and I found this group that actually saved me. Windwalker is amazing! She told me about Mayo Clinic and I am being treated there. I was on Tobramycin for almost 2 months and I started with the sore throat and I had to stop. So I’m not on any meds now. But I will be starting something different soon. I may be staying azithromycin not quite sure until I speak with my doctor. And yes I did use it and got ringing in my ears not constantly it would come and go. I wish I could help. Hugs!!! Hang it there it’s a long journey but we are doing it. Rita
