Hi. I was just diagnosed with mild BE. Did a sputum test last year for MAC it was negative but new pulmanologist I saw at medical research hospital wants to do another sputum test. I guess he suspects MAC. I'm really worried. Been reading about the treatment and wait and see as well. I use aerobika and he just prescribed adding the 7% sodium solution to nebulizer. Just got the prescription. Will start today. No real symptoms except mucus clearing (a little) but can get a lot more if get sick. Reoccurring pneumonia since 2020 (4x's) but didn't get in February when I had flu A or in May with a bad chest cold. Praise the Lord. Most recent (June) showed pretty good bloodwork with high sensitivity C-reactive protein at .32 I was amazed at that level. As high as 65 when I first tested a year ago. I also see a holistic/integrative physician clinic. That has helped clean up my gut. Been through mold detox through the clinic as I tested for a mold toxin (aspergillus) had house treated, cleaned the vents, put on a uv lamp on hvac and installed a larger 5" filter box. (Helped a lot with allergies at the very least). Getting retested for mold toxins as well.
Really praying test for MAC will still be negative!
