Hi Coleen, I'll be following this post as I have similar situation. I have bronciectasis, MAC (which seems to be in remission), and apparently colonized pseudomonas. A sputum done a few months ago came back M. Abscessus. My pulmonary doc wanted to do a second sputum to confirm before discussing treatment. It will be a few more weeks before the final results comes back from the second sputum. Were you told the M. Abscessus is faster growing than MAC? That is what he told me so that's concerning while we wait to confirm.
I'm so sorry your having so many symptoms. I've had fatigue over the last week but otherwise OK, symptom wise. I think I've done myself a disservice by making my nebbing as easy as possible. I've now gone to a Pari LC Plus and it is causing coughing and bringing up colored sputum. That tells me I had become too lax with my airway clearance and this is the result.
I'll pray for you and all who suffer with this condition. Blessings to you going forward. Faye
