Oops-Need to clarify: I nebulize hypertonic 0.9 in the AM and Arikayce for the PM. Zero side effects and yesterday finally tested MAI negative after 8 weeks on Arikayce. So just 24 more months of all 4 antibiotics as long as I continue to test negative.
Fingers crossed!

@terrimn congratulations on the conversion! I am curious about the 24 months of treatment, as my doctors have always said 12 months (from sputum conversion). Do you know why your doctor counsels 24 months?

Good for you! Sounds promising. Did you have a high colony count or did you not have that information available to you?
