Yes, I am going to be 82 in October so I understand what your thoughts are. It has not been suggested for me to start med's for MAI/MAC. If ever it is, I will think long and hard about it. Lucky are the few that reach their 90's and don't have thoughts of "why am I still here' due to serious health problems. So glad I found the book "I'll Have It My Way." Written by the daughter ( Hattie Bryant) of the Mother that inspired her to write the book after her Mother's passing. I am fortunate, as yet, that I feel well and no breathing problems. Just a frustrating continuous need to clear my throat of mucus that I believe is caused by hiatal hernia and silent reflux (LPR).
P.S. No fun having spent hard earned money only to find out it wasn't the house attachments it was the med's. However, question answered and that one problem "solved."
