Should I keep my NJH appointment?

Absolutely keep that appt! They are THE place with the published experts. I saw Dr. Haas, she is excellent. I can’t do airway clearance because it causes blood to come up. Hemoptysis has been a big problem for me and I don’t see many others share that. BTW, so many of you talk about the big three antibiotics. Would somebody please tell me what those are because I’ve been on at least five different ones. One of them was Ethoniamide which even Dr. Haas thought was hard-core. The administrative side of National Jewish was kind of messy for me, but the doctors are incredible. Good luck.

@ellenblythe , hello, I do cough up blood from time to time as well, but not from MAC from another bacteria. How are you managing your airway clearance?

@ellenblythe thank you for the info. I have decided to keep my appt
Everyone has been so helpful with all the great feedback❤️

@ellenblythe The big 3 are azithromycin, rifampin, and ethambutol.
