I was on the same treatment plan in 2009 for 18 months for MAI (they tell me it is the same as MAC). Everyone responds differently to the meds; some people don’t have any side effects. It was rough for me, stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea. You will need to find foods that you can tolerate while on the meds. For me it was boiled eggs, yogurt, soup, saltine crackers, ginger ale, ginger tea, ginger hard candy & probiotics. The meds made me very tired, I didn’t accomplish a lot on the days I took the meds. I was fortunate to be able to take early retirement at age 59, otherwise I would not have been able to complete the treatment. Wishing you the best & remember you may do fine on the meds.
