@anniepie I am on azithromycin, rifampicin and ethambutol again. I will do the monthly ECG like you say and also eat more potassium, great ideas, I have bought some bananas, I dont think I have much potassium either. yes my hair is a bit lighter. Looking forward to seeing your new profile pic! Take care Heather
