Hi Barbara, Thank you for the detailed reply. I am not familiar with MAI. I replaced my very old hot water heater. I don't wear a mask but wet down the soil before working in the garden. The 90/10 is I eat clean 90%. I don't eat processed foods except for very clean protein powder, protein bars. I make sourdough bread and it is white flour, I eat a slice most every day and I have a glass of wine most every night. I have a fairly new shower head but need to do better with cleaning / replacing. I have shortened my showers dramatically which pains me, my shower ritual was a great relaxer for me, an escape of sorts. Like you, I don't really have any symptoms, if I hadn't coughed up blood I would likely never been diagnosed. I really thought after a year of meds, I would have cleared. Thank you again, I pray for your continued strength.

I am brand new to this. 63yo female, w contolled asthma. Going to ID next week for follow up after one of three cultures was positive and confirmed MAC and Bronchiestais w/o comp. Been dealing with the cough and mucous plugs since Sept 23. Just now being officially DX. I have changed shower-heads too ones with filters, clean weekly w/ bleach and drink only filtered water which now i realize the fridge filters arent good. Frustrated and worried about going on the Big 3 as i am susceptible to Yeast infections s when taking them. . And my entire digestive tract feels raw from everything. Thanks for all thr helpful notations .

I understand about the shower ritual.
Homemade sourdough bread. nice and yummy. Then there is Sue who makes her own yogurt. I am making my own hummus in between everything else one has to do to eat healthy and yet want it all to be enjoyable.
Sorry to hear you had an episode with coughing up blood. I have my fingers crossed that I don't see red with my continued BE and MAI...Macrobacterium Avium Complex Intercellular infection.
Wishing you a good planting season ahead...coming soon, if not some already.
Barbara
