Have you had a sputum sample taken to check for another infection other than just your MAC? It sounds like you may have an additional infection going on.

I have had several sputum cultures. I was in hospital for " pneumonia" after being on Ceftan for 10 days, then received Zosyn IV for 5 days. Went home on Ceftan for 5 days. Chest xray unchanged. ID attending in hospital said I need MAC tx not Zosyn or Ceftan. I did have a RUL pneumonia but was resolved after 10 days of Ceftan

No, not yet, I've reached out to my pulmonologist and he has not gotten back to me. That would make sense though if it isn't normal to be feeling worse.
