Oh don't I know it lol! Couple that with Rifampin (for the MAC infection) which turns my urine into a bright neon almost glow in the dark orange and my greatly increased trips to the ladies room. Fun times I say!

Rifampin is a fun medicine. Urine, tears, possibly even saliva. Any body fluid that isn't already a specific color can turn bright orange.
Try not to cry too much, people tend to freak at orange tears.
I have discontinued the Rifampin. My breasts had just started budding when I started taking it.. and it stopped the budding dead in it's tracks. I dropped it and hopefully over the next couple of days the budding will start back up again.
I informed my doctor in no uncertain terms that my Transition comes before any other medical issue. They will either have to find a different antibiotic.. or hope the two I am still taking does the trick. Because I refuse to take any medication that pauses or prevents my development. As I told her.. I would rather die, living as who I am.. than live... as something I am not.
