I am a 72-year-old female with bronchiectasis and GERD, recently diagnosed with MAC. I am sitting here looking at the new prescription bottles (the Big 3) and really feeling anxious about doing this, actually not wanting to do it at all. I took a probiotic this morning and intend to try the azithromycin and see how it goes for a week, despite not tolerating antibiotics well. I do use a nebulizer with 3% saline followed by Afflovest twice a day. I am not very good at breathing exercises during the day but do try to use my Aerobika once in a while. I go to Silver Sneakers class for exercise 3 days a week but it has been a little more difficult lately with just being too tired. I joined a couple support groups and websites such as this. Some information is very good, some scary. Something we have to learn to cope with. I wish you luck on your journey.
