Wow I'm SO HAPPY for you! Your details are so helpful too, and I’m glad encouraged to give it another try, but with the podhaler so my mouth doesn’t get so sore and sensitive. Apparently the podhaler sends a powdered version of the med straight back to the throat instead of bathing the whole mouth with the meds for 30 mins 2x a day. Prob more coughing at first though.
Were they planning for u to do the treatments 1 month on and 1 month off etc until u had that negative culture?

@sarahlynn1960 I would assume so re one month on one month off since that seems to be the protocol. Right now I am scheduled for a check up in a few months. A recent CT for another unrelated issue revealed my MAC is still present (no surprise) but no other apparent issues w the lungs.
Daily nebbing w 7% saline remains a necessity for me and produces clear mucous. I believe it is important in my quest to stay as healthy as possible.
