Should I take Big 3 + inhaled ARIKAYCE

I had MAC I think in 2017. Can't remember what I took to get rid of it. But it worked and never had it since. I do take 500 mg of Azithromyzin 3x per week for the rest of my life to keep MAC away. Thus far, it has worked. I am 68 years old and an avid gardener. I ask Dr if I need to give up my yardwork and he said NO. Hang in there.

Hi 1fancydancer. Wow. Sure wish there was a way to see what treatment you were given in 2017. Since you were cleared of MAC, are they continuing to test sputum and CT scans or are they just "assuming" you'll need treatment anyway and have decided on Azithromycin forever? Is your doc a pulmonary specialist?
