Any Success Stories for Mycobacterium Intracellular?

Posted by mark1952 @mark1952, Oct 4 5:31pm

73 year-old male here. Just got my initial lab result of Mycobacterium Intracellular disease. It will take time to grow and identify the specific strain. I am not aware of any comorbidities. 150 lbs. 6'1". Have almost no symptoms, just an occasional cough with a bit of white or clear sputum, occasionally a tiny spec of very pale yellow. Any success stories out there for this? Thanks so much!

@mark1952 Thank you for the cake, 😉. I am breathing better since doing air way clearance. I do not get out of breath after having walked a short distance and then having to talk, This was happening before being diagnosed and not doing all we have to do for the BE, Bronchiectasis.

@helen1000 I am only ok, thanks for asking. Coming up on three months of treatment and it has been BUMPY. My spirits are low. One day at a time ... I know you have been grappling with difficult decisions. I think of you often and pray for the best for you.
