I must have been born under a lucky star. Like you, the antibiotics made me feel awful, and actually were stopped before I was negative due to the side effects. But I kept up rigorous airway clearance with 7% saline after stopping, and my lungs actually continued to clear the infection.
Under my pulmonologist, I have gradually been able to "dial back" my airway clearance to once a day, use my asthma meds religiously, and only use 7% saline plus nebs during exacerbations.
Did you maintain your airway clearance routine after stopping the meds?

I was never told about airway clearance until I did some research myself. If I had started that when I was on meds I might have remained clear of the MAC. I was never told about probiotics either. My whole system suffered. Not sure what to do. My ID appointment is next Thursday. Hope you stay well.

Hi Sue, I wish we can all achieve this.
You only need to do airway clearance once a day and neb saline when you have exacerbations. I am curious what this decision is based on? Is it based on how much mucus you produce? How long have you been practicing this?
