If I remember correctly you had a CScan recently and were working on getting a good acceptable sputum for testing. Did you get an acceptable notification?
Was your CScan showing plugging?
I know you had to remove yourself from taking the antibiotics early on and yet cleared yourself of the infection???? had better CScan results eventually????
My new local pulmonologist, who I believe may turn out to be the right one after two other local "try outs"; so to speak; said that the CScan has greater determination of whether or not one is placed on the antibiotics vs the sputum results that show MAI. That was a surprise for me.
I wonder if different doctors differ on what to use as an indication for putting a person on antibiotics or is it the amount of plugging showing up on the CScan and knowing the person has an infection?????
Hope you are out of, or closer to, being out of the 'sling'. Such fun....dealing with muscles, organs, bones, systems and doctor visits for one health concern or another which gives us more things to work around and then be ingenious about in solving the problem of how to work around it. Need 10 laughing emoji's here and now.
