I have a quick question: Has anyone who has taken the Big 3 found their fatigue and drowsiness got even worse in the first few months on these meds? (LOL, I know - how could the fatigue get any worse than untreated acute MACMAI/Bronchiectasis?!?).
Please let me know. Did the fatigue get any better after the first few months on the Big 3?

@anniepie I find I do get more fatigue on the BIG 3

I am in month 6 on the big 3 - I find the overall fatigue has improved, but I still have to modify my activities. Now if I try to do too much in a day, or on successive days, I hit a "wall" of fatigue that just stops me in my tracks. Still trying to figure out the weight loss piece, I have no appetite, and most days wouldn't remember to eat if my husband didn't remind me. Even with whole milk or cream blended into my coffee concentrate, smoothies, cheese, yogurt and other high calorie snacks, I am down to 106 and still losing a pound a month.
