Why didn’t the inhalation work for you, Have you had any side effects? And in addition to your line are you taking 3 other antibiotics ?

Hi at the boardwalk. You put a smile on my face. Boardwalk is home for me, Jersey Shore. I am now in OKC...so for sure no boardwalk along the beach.

It is hard enough for me to get all things done for myself and as well to try to keep up with important information with having BE/MAC.
A million gold stars for those not only having to take care of themselves but also another. I am single. Being single can be tough in some ways but not as time consuming and possibly as overwhelming as it maybe, or is, for you and others that are caregivers for another.
Wishing you moments of peace and relaxation for you both.

The inhalation did not work for me because of having copd and asthma. That's not saying that inhalation doesn't work well for others. I'd give it a try if that's what they want to do. If it doesn't work, they might do intervenes.

I was worried about taking amikacin again but I had a bad case of MAC. Either that or I will die. First i was diagnosed with TB and they treated me aggressively for over a year. I never had TB. They said i should be fine now but i wasnt. It took years to diagnose me right.

All your labs and meds get done through a picline or intervenes line.

The only reason I mentioned a picline is just incase they would tell you needed this. It doesn't mean this will happen, but
you won't be as shocked as i was going to the cancer center for treatments.
