My infectious disease doctor said steroids worsen MAC on me. He was not pleased the pulmonologist put me on it

What are the alternative options? I have this conversation with myself frequently. Supposedly, I have asthma and bronchiectasis, no MAC, which I am trying to avoid!

I refused steroids due to my fragile bones. I have COPD as well as MAC and bronchiectasis. My Pulmo gave me samples of non-steroidal Stiolto Respimate 2 puffs daily. It has been wonderful and I have been taking it by prescription for over a year now. No side effects. Dr. says I am moving air very well. Ask your doctor for samples.
Since I don't have drug insurance (long story), I order it with prescription from Canada Rx. It costs about 1/3 of US prices without insurance. It's the exact same medication and Canada Rx is very easy to work with.
I also nebulize 7% saline but only if I feel congested.
