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.

I am so sorry you have had such a difficult time with the Amikacin IV. All the medications are scary and it is unfortunate for us with this disease that we feel we have to comply and follow the doctors orders. I also go to NJH and was just there in May but as I mentioned before the doctors only wanted me to do the inhaled Amikacin. If this does not help then I may have to do the IV but I am really hoping not.
I really wish you lots of luck.
