the mycrobacterium abscessus causes fever, lower PFTS, fatigue, and my son also lost his appeitite which he then began to loose weight, his cough was very deep and seemed to take alot out of him, he coughed so hard sometimes his face was so red when he finished, it really takes alot out of him. we have also have aspergillus and the two cant be treated with the same drug. The drugs you use for one makes the other come back quick, we learned that from experience. No I am no expert on it either, we are just mothers trying to help our children get through this as best we can. I listen to the doc and do exactly as we are told, we never miss our meds no matter what when his bug is active, or when it is not for that matter. my son is 18, he just graduated HS, we went through prom with ivs, it has been tough and now we have a break so we try and be as normal as we can. I hope we can get through the summer without ivs.
