mycobacteria
This is a lung condition my wife apparently caught in Nevada. It is like tuberculosis but is not contagious. It has flair ups and causes coughs and shortness of breath,and can be life threatening. Anyone know anything about this disease.

Thank you for asking. Unfortunately, I am not doing very well and have dropped into the 70's which is very concerning. I am thankful for each day. We moved back to Connecticut to be with our many children and even more grandbabies. As Dorothy said, "There's no place like home!" I feel I know a whole lot about MAC, but getting better doesn't seem to be within reach at this point. For those of us who can maintain a healthy weight, I think the prognosis is better. God bless you real good too!
VSL3. You can get at Costco or SAMs. It is refrigerated so go to the pharmacy .
$48.00 for 60 capsules. I do not take any meds for NTM . Tried twice. Ended up in the hospital twice. Literally destroyed my gut! I have been off meds since Sept. , 2015. I have gained much needed 17 lbs. I am 81, go to lung rehab twice a week. It is AWESOME! O2 now in mid 90s and no oxygen. Exercise is key! I have not been on in months.
So very sad to learn our mentor Katherine has passed. What a precious soul is now in heaven!
