I am 80 years old and have decided to let "nature take its course" as nature has a way of determining everyone's life expectancy, disease or not. I felt worse on the Big 3 than not and want to enjoy what "good" years, hopefully, I have left. At my age especially I don't want to feel worse than having the disease itself. I am fairly active now whereas I wasn't on the Big 3. I walk 1-2 miles daily with less fatigue than on the Big 3 and I keep busy reading, illustrating pictures, and educating myself in areas of interest. I was unable to do any of these while on the meds due to the fatigue/brain fog and some undesired side effects. I can't imagine feeling that way for the years I have left. There is longevity in my family, my mother passing at 101 and my father at 96 but neither had MAC/BE or the rare fungus, which cannot be treated to the degree that other fungi can, and which continues to grow worse in my lungs. I do know I only have so so much time left on this earth, and I want to make the best of that time, shortened or lengthened, in a natural way.

This is my philosophy exactly, although I hadn't been able to express it so clearly. Thank you for sharing.
