I'm very fatigued & nap almost every day now. My bronchiectasis is mild; also have MAC & will start treatment in about 3 weeks after all the screening. My docs say it's the MAC since I had mild & practically asymptomatic bronchiectasis for 10+ years til I got a chronic dry cough & then eventually cultured positive for MAC. Now I clear some thick phlegm with 2x/day saline nebulizing + smartvest. I'm really hoping the antibiotics help but I understand it's a long haul.

For me antibiotics helped with cough. I stopped the nonstop coughing so bad that I was gagging. You will find relief when you start .I wish you the best. Stay strong waiting for the treatment. When I started the treatment my ID doctor made me start all three meds at the same time. 10 days later I had an adverse reaction and ended up in hospital for four days. When I restarted meds I went one antibiotic at a time with a week, 10 days space and it was the right way to adjust. I hope your id doctor is more couscous than mine was.
