He said that the steroids lowered my immune system to much. Now he did give me other inhalers they seem to be working. I have copd also I need those meds. He hasn’t dealt with MACK patients .

That makes sense. Glad the new inhalers seem to be working for you. I wish you the best!

Oops, with this remark "Doesn’t thing the 3 meds are that bad to take." he loses my vote for doc of choice to treat MAC. Even my less than empathetic old pulmonologist said "I won't lie to you, this treatment is going to be hard on you." In your position, I might be looking for someone with experience in treating MAC if you have that choice.

Are you near any of the medical centers who are experienced in MAC - National Jewish Health, Mayo, University of Texas, Tyler and several others?
