New here. Been diagnosed with NTM since March. These meds do not make it easy. How long do you feel horrible for?

Jenifer, Hello! Welcome to the site. It varies from person to person. It took me a few months to feel better / adjust while on the medications. Factors such as other comorbidities, age come into the equation of tolerability . In addition to the community support you receive here on BronchiectasisandNTM360, you can call one of our Patient Ambassadors directly by phone at (833) 411-5864. Our Ambassadors are real live patients with experiences similar to yours and understand what you are going through. You can also email us at contactus@bronchandntm.org to get more information about treatment plans. Our Ambassadors can’t provide medical advice but may be able to assist you with additional information and resources.
Thankyou, starting to have a time . Wasn't sure where to go .
