Hi Colleen,
Thanks for your reply. I take azithromycin daily, rifampin daily and ethambutol 3xweek. The only thing that helps my cough is to exercise and then the next morning I cough out and I feel better. Also I am back to eating plant based and dairy free which helps alot - I eat a whole foods diet and the whole grains is what keeps the digestion clear. I notice a difference if I eat refined grains or sugar so I avoid.

I am new to this as during the pre-medicine phase I had little to no symptoms apart from a few flare ups. I am wondering if this is likely just how it feels when cavities heal. I feel things happening in my chest where I did not before.
Thanks,
Maureen

The Big 3... yes, those guys can be tough but necessary. When was your last CT and are you scheduled for another?
