Jenifer,
I am glad that you spoke with your doctor. Some people take the antibiotics 3x a week.
What drugs did they tell you to double up on?
Rifampin , athenbutal, and azithromiacin.Not sure on them spellings. Haven't been sick in 6 days . Whoop whoop 😁
Jenifer,
I haven’t heard of patients doubling the doses of those strong antibiotics. I am glad you are feeling better, not having side effects from the higher dosage. Are you seeing a pulmonologist who is well experienced with NTM patients?
I hope that you continue to feel better with each passing day.
😊 thanks.
