How do you tell if you are end stage from MAC

@sueinmn Thank you but I have no money to call any driver. I live off of very little social security and every cent is spent immediately. No family, friends or neighbors. I always knew I would be going out alone, in my home.
Yes,they tested for those and other things. All negative however the CT showed an increase in the ground glass opacities in both lungs, but the nodules in both lungs are unchanged. I do not believe they checked for pseudomonas which I think I understand are other infections on top of the MAC?

@doberdoo I'm sorry to hear that you have no way to get help. Are you in a town with a Senior Center? Often they have volunteers who can drive you for little or not cost.
I know this is hard to do when you are feeling ill, but another option is to call your county and find their senior services. I'm not sure what state you are in, but if you go to Northwestern it must be Illinois or Indiana- both states offer count based services.
