Does anyone have “Mac” days?
Every once in awhile, I wake up nauseous and sort of foggy and feeling generally sick. I’m usually fine by evening and then fine the next day. I can’t connect it to anything I eat or do and it seems to get better as the day goes on. I attribute to Mac, thus calling it a Mac day.
Does anyone else experience anything else like this? Any suggestions for what might help?

Hi Kathy, Oh, geez, yes. I am going on my second round of MAC for 2 years now. I found that the BIG 3 were contributing to my feeling awful so I finally started taking rifampin right before bed with a ton of water. I found it was that drug that was making me more sick than the others. I figured that I can be asleep while the initial effects hit me. I take the others in the mid morning and seem to do ok. I have to say, my doc wasn't pleased that I was separating my drugs like that but after 2 years on these beasts, I figured my body is well pickled with them! Anyway, I know that MAC itself can make you feel all those horrible things. Stay the course and read up on all the info about how to stay well. Good luck and don't give up!
