I think your last sentence says it all- do what you can tolerate and leave the rest up to the creator. I’ve had MAC and aspergillosis for so many years and have been treated for both. Some treatments have been harder than others , but I’ve given it my best shot. I was told back in 2019 I would die. Only the good God knows that answer. My husband of 55 years just died last week of complications from sarcoidosis. He was 79. He was diagnosed in 2002. My pulmonologist at UMASS insists I nebulize to keep other unwanted bacteria out of my lungs. I don’t think it’s just because we have MAC but rather we have bronchiectasis which provides a perfect breeding ground for bad bacteria. Sometimes what we can do becomes what we must do. Irene5
