If medication worked for you, did you begin to feel better right away?

@traceyk I had the same symptoms prior to starting antibiotics minus headache. Extreme fatigue, terrible night sweats, cough and congestion, body aches, chest heaviness and pain in my lung. I couldn't even lay in bed so I slept in a recliner. The symptoms did go away after starting on the big 3 but I don't really remember how long it took. I want to say it took a couple of months and I gradually started to feel better. Since then, I've had no symptoms. I am back to my busy life, work, dinner, house cleaning, etc.

Hi Mary, what was the pain like that you are experiencing? I was diagnosed with MAC almost 2 years ago and have not started the big 3. Dr. doing a wait and watch. Since Christmas I have had this pain under my right shoulder blade that comes and goes. It sometimes feels like someone pinching me on the inside. It seems to be related to when I eat, and I do have a lot of indigestion and belching. My pulmo Dr. said you don't get pain from MAC disease. Just wondering what this could be. I see him in March, and might decide to take the meds. Thank you. Barbara
