mycobacterium avium-intracellulare, treatment
"This is my update from  previous  comment  ; I've been on this drug, 3 150 mg caps daily, since 10/2012 with a 6 month break  after 2 yrs, at which time I regressed and had to be  restarted on it; there are side effects I listed in prev. Review; my diarrhea is better;  Fast heart rate; currently experiencing high feelings of anxiety, intermittent fever and chills; periodic severe L side pain in pancreas area;  increased lethargy, weakness, painful joints esp. hips, knees, finger joints; wt of 85lbs; are newer & becoming a bit problematic, but I was advised when taken off my drugs for 6 months, if I require restarting therapy, I would remain on them for life.  I'm at the end of my 5th yr now! I tend to require hospitalization each November."
