For general pulmonologists who do not specialize in bronchiectasis with or without MAC, this seems a typical response that you "don't need 7%". Same happened with me. Finally, I convinced them to let me give 7% a trial. It made a big difference in clearance for me.

Absolutely!! I was originally placed on 3.5% and requested 7% based on the information provided in this chat group. I am now taking 4 weeks to test positive for MAC avium . Previously, I would test positive immediately on the smear test. I wonder if I increased frequency to three times per day, would be better.

Thanks, I do think this is the case with my pulmonologist but he does seem quite knowledgable about Bronchiectasis and MAC. I sent him the study and asked for him to reconsider.
