Just started a week ago the big three and feel so very sick

@laborday24 How do you know from the sputum sample that the MAC has "gotten worse"? Were your sputum samples clear before, and now they are showing signs of MAC again? Or were your sputum samples smear negative before and now they are smear positive? I am new to the MAC diagnosis and just trying to learn as much as I can about all the various aspects. Thanks.

Well I took meds for two years no issues drug resistant to azithromycin. I went off them in May because we thought azithromycin was causing me headaches. I had 3 negative tests in the beginning. Now they are all positive. I did a sputum test September 23 for national Jewish health. My contact there said it grew fast. I go there in November. She said they can help me. I am praying they can help. But i don’t think it ever goes away. I cough 24/7. Doing compression vest and nebulizer. I also have bronchectisis
