Sue - My understanding, if correct, the Pulmonary Function Test will continually get worse with a continued MAC infection? Is that what you understand? My understanding, if correct, the fatigue also gets worse along with a worsening PFT? My understanding is that MAC worsens our disease, Bronchiectasis...more inflammation. As in many things, one thing affects the other????? Is that what you understand?
My PFT did slightly get worse this last test. April 2025

Barbara - I don't know about changes in PFTs. Mine never changed throughout my MAC treatment and afterwards until they changed my asthma medication to Symbicort.
As with most other things related to MAC and Bronchiectasis, there don't seem to be any absolutes.
