So, it took me almost 2 years to start big 3. I have bronchiectasis and Mac. Md suggested nebulizing with 3% saline 2x daily first. What with Covid and all, and self study. I tried . No changes, so then took some time to improve on gerd symptoms (diet, time changes, sleeping on incline). Got an endoscopy. Still haven’t gotten swallow study(Covid scheduling difficulties). My ID dr. Came back from maternity leave, so I started 2 weeks ago. Rifampin before breakfast with a cracker and full glass of water . Ethambutol and azithromycin before bed with a cracker and a little water. M-w-f. So far ok. A little stomach issues and vivid dreams on nights I take medicine. Labs to check thyroid (I’m on synthroid) every 2 months. Eye checks and aware of any hearing changes. Thanks to everyone for getting me to this point. Oh and my ID changed her mind about 7% saline. So 7% nebs now! Yeah.
