I have had Bronchiectasis and MAC since 2019 diagnosis and have had health issues ever since.
I was recently tested for CF and found I have elevated sweat test, and one of the variants for CF but they can't identify evidence of a second potential disease causing variant in this gene. However I have all of the symptoms of CF.
I am trying to get on trikafta as my niece's daughter has benefitted immensely from it. My insurance has denied the Trikafta as they say I don't have a diagnosis of CF. I'm 62 and trying to keep working until I"m 65.

so what are you doing? In the meantime? do you take an antibiotic when you have a flareup?
