I was on the big three for 9 months and then after 3 failed field vision eye tests my dr took me off ethambutol. After 4 months off ethambutol I could pass the test. I am fine as long as I stay off Ethambutol. In place of it my dr put me on Arikace nebulizer.

I had ethambutol / rifampin/isoniazid for 6 months. Ethambutol stopped because of blurred vision in left eye. It was replaced by Ciprofloxacin which not only made my vision worse it totally destroyed me leaving me disabled. They try to call it drug induced lupus, but it’s not its FLUROQUINOLONE TOXICITY SYNDROME and it’s a killer. My vision remains blurry like the others can read ok but road signs and things like that are all fuzzy.
I’ve been off all antibiotics now 12 months and don’t intend having any more. I still have MAC after 18 months of different antibiotic treatments.
