Hi Jane, your message warmed my heart. May I know what did you nebulize and what are your airway clearance techniques? So happy that you beat MAC.

I used a nebulizer 3 times a day with sodium Chloride 7% nebulizer solution and was on Azithromycin 500mg, Rifampin 500mg and Ethamutol 300mg all on mon-wed-& fri. I had to get off ethambutol because of eye problems but continued the others until I got the ok to get off. I also had regular sputim tests. It was a long process but worth it in the end. I know I am luckier than others as I never got any fatigue but did loose 100 lbs.
Good luck to you and I hope you make it as well!
