Barbara, I don't know, and I rather doubt, that the MAC meds treated the aspergillus infection. Maybe the doctors didn't treat it because it wasn't very severe or because they wanted to treat the MAC first or something else, who knows? I see my local ID doc in a month and I'll ask him to clarify.

I don't know how common it is to have the fungal and the MAC infection concurrently, but I certainly did.

I too often failed to ask the doctors, why this, why that etc. , at the time they are saying what they want me to do or why they said what they said. Hope I get better 'on my feet' with that aspect of working with doctors now that for the first time in my life, these last couple of years, I have had to visit and converse with doctors, the professionals who are not necessarily 'teachers,' with my first chronic health problem.
