Interesting that some are asked to send in multiple sputum viles on two to three consecutive days (or possibly one in the morning one at night???) for testing with hopes of a more concise determination and others just the once a month tests and determination of starting the antibiotics. Mine has been sent in once a month and told to start after the third month of sending in the viles to Tyler 10/2024. Now that I think of it NJH required one before the actual visit and a minimum of two during the visit of one week. NJH said watch and wait 10/2023. Mine continue to just show MAI. each submission, from my understanding. I have not been told I have cavities or nodules.
From what you understand what are considered serious symptoms.?
As I said PFT excellent, no fever, chills, gaining weight, sleeping well, appetite good, not fatigued....and told to start anitibiotics. I have messaged Irene 8 also with some information, you may have read it.
I almost hate to message you knowing you have that extra challenge with your arm in a sling, so please know I understand timing and as well...if one is feeling up to it, to answer.
Thanks,
Barbara
