Blood test to check absorption of meds

@britchic Wow! Four years is a long time to be on antibiotics. I would wonder also whether the bacteria are resistant to the drugs. Have you ever had a negative culture?
I would ask them to do a susceptibility test on my next sputum culture before submitting to an absorption test.
Are you seeing a MAC/ NTM specialist?
