The vision changes are really concerning. I've heard of people losing their eyesight temporarily, but permanent loss is rare.

I was on Ethambutol for a few months and experienced a lot of stomach issues. It was rough, but manageable with some dietary changes and anti-nausea meds.

For those experiencing dizziness, try to stay hydrated and avoid sudden movements. It helped me a lot.

I had a friend who had to stop taking Ethambutol due to joint pain. It was too debilitating. Just be vigilant and listen to your body.
