Losing weight due to MAC

I began losing weight before the antiobiotics, while I was quite ill with MAC & pseudomonas, coughing non-stop and have a fever for over a year. The loss continued the first six month of treatment, and my weight stabilized for about a year. Then the daily regimen of meds "took over my life" and we stopped the antibiotics; I didn't begin to regain the weight until a few months later. Then it took over 2 years to regain most of what I had lost - I am happy with my current weight and most of my clothes fit again.

@sueinmn Thank you Sue. What an ordeal you had. Can you tell me what you meant by the daily regimen of meds "took over my life" and we stopped the antibiotics? What was happening then? And was the MAC gone at that time? Has it returned?
