I'm supposed to take the 3 meds daily. I haven't been able to start taking them yet because my pulmonologist has ordered baseline reports from an audiologist; ophthalmologist; immunologist and also an EKG. It seems like it's taking forever to even get these appointments scheduled so I can start the meds. My insurance finally approved my ophthalmologist appointment this morning, but they have no opening until December. They are going to try to work me in more quickly, and I'm praying they can get me in sometime within the next week. It doesn't make that easier due to the hurricane that's going to hit Florida this week. In the meantime, I keep reading and researching bronchiectasis and MAC. I was really bummed when I learned yesterday there's no cure for it. I guess the strong antibiotics are supposed to clear it as much as possible and inhibit growth of the bacteria.
