Welcome to the group. I'm sorry you need to be here, but think you'll find a helpful and caring group. I haven't had MAC and can't answer that question, but a bit more info will help others answer your questions. There are a lot members who've had it and some tolerate it and others find it challenging.
How long have you had MAC? Are you starting meds separately...like adding 1/week? Are you being treated at a center that specializes in MAC and bronchiectasis? Do you have bronchiectasis and how severe is it?

Thank you. I have just been diagnosed and in that overwhelming state of not knowing all the details. I will be working with an Infectious disease Dr in a couple weeks to outline treatments and next steps. There is an infusion clinic near where I live and they say they can teach me to do it at home. I do have bronchiectasis and my MAC is moderate and I have a cavity.
