Sue...If I remember correctly you had to come off of the antibiotics shortly after taking them once you were finally diagnosed with pseudomonas and MAC.
I know you did a lot in terms of shoes stay outside, clothes immediately to the laundry room, upstream and downstream water filtering and if I am understanding correctly the Aerobika, nebulizing and full airway clearance.
This may be a 'stupid' question because of all you did/do...but..do you think there was one particular thing that helped you the most?
Also, if you can recall...how long did it take for you to rid yourself of the pseudomonas and MAC? If I read everything correctly you rid yourself of both and are now clear of both.???

Actually I was on the antibiotics for 12 months 3 times a week and 6 months daily.

The two best things without a doubt were daily airway clearance and 7% saline - at first twice a day, then daily for a year. I didn't decrease frequency until a stable CT and well controlled asthma.
