I am in the process of researching whether to start the 3 antibiotics.
Stopped RA drugs 6 months ago that lowered my immunity.
Six months of antibiotics, ozone therapy, essential oil suppositories (antibacterial and antiviral), etc to treat Nocardia. Bronchoscopy 6 weeks ago grew no Nocardia-just MAC.
My CT scan showed 2 nodules in my lungs. 10mm and 12 mm. I’ll rescan in 3 months.

Are you also doing airway clearance to get as much mucus (and MAC) out of your lungs as you can?

Here is an excellent video to explain why and how to do it. It might just keep you from needing to take the antibiotics.
