Hi Renee, I just read your blog. How are you doing. Have you opted not to take the Big 3? I have. The side effects terrify me and I am one to get side effects from meds every single time. I’m tiny, and vulnerable to medicines. I couldn’t even take amoxicillin for two days. I can’t believe I got Mac and Bronchiestasis….newly diagnosed this past year!
I’m just gonna take one day at a time and do the best I can with clearance, exercise and a healthy approach. Who knows what’s in store for me or anyone else…..I was just wondering if you had changed your mind about the meds, and how you are feeling in general? Regards. Bon

Hi Bon.
I am still not taking anything but Azithromycin. It doesn’t really have any side effects to me or just minor ones. They still tell me that I will create a super bug doing this but I feel good and have lots of energy most of the time. They want me to go to an ID doctor because he could have other options besides the big 3 that might not have bad side effects. I have an appointment on August 22nd. If they say they have side effects I will not be taking them either. I am taking lots of vitamin C, D3, and other things to build my immune system plus I am taking weekly Super B shots. Not sure which one or maybe all are making me feel good. I have over an acre of yard and I mow it in the 100+ degree weather. Of course I have a riding mower but I also weed eat the edges and all so I think I do pretty good so why mess that up taking awful drugs.
I agree with you that I can do this without major side effects drugs. Sometimes it is a lot mental how our bodies fight things and I am going to fight. I am also like you in that if anybody will get it it will be me so why chance the drugs.
Thank you for reaching out. Not many agree with us.
