Hi SP, interesting that you are in the UK too. I live in London. I am growing Mac and Abscessus at the moment. I was diagnosed back in Dec 2022 had 14 months of hell on the big 3 but stuck it out mainly because I knew no different! Have underlying bronchiectasis - my lungs are what I would describe a pebbledashed! I cough most days, get breathless, stay active, still work but I am very thin. I find it all so frustrating going from an energetic person to someone who is in bed by 8pm and asleep at 10pm. The fatigue is awful but I keep going. Watch and wait is the option at the moment after a year being clear I am back to square one. It is annoying that the treatment is the same as what people with TB are given - at least they recover. The wait for appointments is not good and so many have been cancelled. My kidneys were damaged from rifanpacin. Anyway I am going to battle on and keep going with airway clearance. I have to wait until July to be checked that I can tolerate a saline nebuliser! Wishing you well.
