I have MAC and BE , been on the ‘big three ‘ for 10 months now , sputum was negative after 6 months on drugs . I have CT next month depending on the results, my pulmonologist might discontinue the 3 meds , and he’ll start me on Amikacin nebulize for 6 months. He said MAC might come back, so I just hope for the best. He also ordered Trelegy , he said for a year. I was kind of hesitant to start it , but I did ,it helped my coughing and shortness of breath and gave me more energy to do some housework. We’re all different. You’re all in my prayers, don’t lose hope God is good all the time ! 🙏🙏🙏

Thank for your reply. How have you felt while taking the 3 meds? Side-effects? Did you start feeling better as they worked? My PFTs never show any response to inhaler meds. If I didn't cough I'm not sure I'd know I have this infection; CT scan show worsening.
