Are you male? Do you have any cavitation? I think he is right on all counts. Shortness of breath is one of our major symptoms. Unless you have asthma, NO steroids. Your 2 things to avoid at this point is adding a fungal infection or a cavity.

I am male, no I don’t have cavitation. I do have me a brand new nodule. I have to a mass in my lung they were sure was cancer it was not. That is how they found MAC.
I had a very bad case of valley fever in 99 because of it lost 2/3 of right lung. I told all my doctors about this and they thought to just blow me off.
I’m going to Henry Ford Monday to see ID doctor. I live north of Detroit and it’s not a good place to be if you have health problems.
I believe I’m getting better because I just took a shower without oxygen. But I have to get back on my Eliquis fast been 2 weeks now. Thanks
Mike
