Notice that Zithromycin or Biaxin is first line. These do not
cause PN as rule.

Most of the others may however, make PN worse.

If you have to take the drug(s) for a long time, also consider
probiotics for your bowel functions. Kefir daily is very good
and has 12 strains of various beneficial organisms to keep your bowel from damage or Candida(yeast) infection.
I will remember these antibiotics and will mention them to the doctors should I be given with antibiotics.

I dont know where I got this mycobacterium avium. It must be from soil when I do the gardening or it could be from the ducks and Canadian birds which lives by our pond during winter. The ducks stay inthe pond all year round.

Thank you for the tip.
