Thank you.
Did you have symptoms for 7 years but they couldn't figure out what was causing them? It is well known that this mimics many other things.
Initially, I wanted an endoscopy since it felt like reflux but I agreed to see the pulmonologist at my doctor's recommendation. That was 9 months ago. It took me a year before that to address my chronic cough.

It lightens me to know you are doing well. Thank you for the encouragement.

I always had acid reflux and gerd so I suppose my not feeling well was attributed to that. Then I started loosing a lot of weight and they started to look into what was wrong more closely. Xrays and Endoscopies showed damage and the Drs finally woke up that it was serious and finally diagnosed it all as MAC,

I wish you luck and keep going on this site as everyone is very supportive and knowledgeable if you need help.
