Hi J, I finished the daily antibiotics for 12 months and have been cleared of the active infection thus far. My symptoms progressed from getting Pneumonia several years in a row, to two times a year, to then never getting over it with standard antibiotic treatment. I went to go see an Infectious disease specialist once the MAC was dx at the request of my pulmonologist. the ID dr said to start the regime and stay on it for 12 months. Yes it was hard, I went onto psych meds to deal with the depression and anxiety that were brought on by the treatment . But now having been cleared of the MAC, I am reducing the psych meds and feel much better each month as I reduce meds. If your infection is mild, why not get a consultation from and ID specialist. My thought is get rid of it now before it progresses. I feel more confident now that I have been clear of it. but who knows, you may never have the imposing symptoms of fatigue, pain, repeat infections, inability to exercise that I experienced Prior to treatment. Food for thought.
