I am inhaling Amikacin 3x per week because the Doctor said it was more tolerable and less side effects than Arikayce. You may want to ask about it if you can't tolerate the Arikayce. Somehow they are a little different.

Amikacin IV put me in the ER, Dr's thought it might be a stroke but I knew it was a reaction to the MWF IV. This started in week 5. Dr reduced the dosage after this and I was able to complete the 12 weeks even with the extreme dizziness. Most can tolerate it, I can't. NJH wants me to start it again before lung surgery, I will not.
