What are some of the most common Mac symptoms people experienced when they were diagnosed or when having a flare up? For me it's the mucus in the throat that makes me clear throat and cough.

I kept getting recurrent pneumonias, discoloured mucus, fatigue, loss of appetite. Also had pain and burning in lung/chest area most effected by MAC.
All that diminished once I began 3 antibiotics and have ceased after about a month after began treatment.

I had a cough, clearing my throat, night sweats, and lost weight. I seemed to have more hair in the drain but I wasn’t sure if that was from MAC. I was on meds. For 18 mos. And did not have a good team for the first 8 months… I learned lots from this site and found a better doc. I survived the meds., although it wasn’t fun. I have numbness in my toes but I generally feel better.
