@irenea8 and @maryjanechilds have offered you great advice about getting treated sooner rather than later - having 3 different infections identified in four years mean your body is in a constant fight.

Two of your infections are fungal, and one is bacterial - the treatments are completely different. So, you may very well need to seek out both a pulmonologist well-versed in treating bronchiectasis and an ID doc familiar with MAC & fungal infections in lungs. Here is a lsit of centers of excellence for treating our conditions:

Are any of these accessible to you?
