I was on Trelegy for two years and I'm convinced that the steroid in it dialed down
my immune system and that's why I got MAC.

@harrynsc Well you are probably not wrong. Steroid inhalers do a lot of good, but steroids as a whole increase your risk. I only recently learned that - well within the past year after getting RSV. @scoop is correct about the albuterol and saline. It’s a catch 22 really. You need to get rid of all the yuckiness in your airways. There is a great article @rstel7272 shared a few months ago on the subject. Pulmonologists who know this fact about steroids ( all should) try to do a balancing act with it all, but we do need to breathe! @irene5
