Why Dr has NOT prescribed me Rifampin for MAC/NTM?

Irene, we are having parallel experiences. After years of MAC, big 3, amikacin, arikayce, etc, I too was diagnosed with a fungal infection in 2022 after developing systems in March. I started voriconizole in November. Dr's at NJH want to preform lobectomy this year. I'm working on a 3rd opinion now. Also developed some recent tachycardia so a Cardiologist is scheduled in May. I'm trying to hold off until after May when I turn 65 and get Medicare. I also had a GSD for 14 years until last month, father time caught up to her. I miss her.

Oh my goodness! I don’t know what I would do without my Nala and Simba. We had five until a few years ago ( 3 GSD’s and 2 labs). When they died my daughter insisted I get a puppy - and everyone needs someone so we went back to New Hampshire two months later and got Simba’s sister. (Nala). I have face planted a few times - Simba is a big boy, and I’m 73 and weigh my age, but they give me reason to get up and for my husband of 53 years with sarcoid, dementia, and Parkinson’s to get up as well. Dog is God spelled backwards. You should get a puppy. My heart is having issues as well. We must be sisters. This growing up thing is highly overrated! I started on Vfend in August. My eyes still go buggy for a bit every day, but my levels are where they are supposed to be. You take care- but get a puppy! You won’t regret it!
