Yes, off and on for years. Needed naps too, when I felt like this. Finally MAI got bad enough to have to take the meds. Now on the meds the fatigue is so much better. I have been told I will always have the MAC, but if I can beat the thing back, maybe it will take a few years to return to the state I was in - and maybe if I keep up the good work of air clearance I can stall it off. It's all kind of a drag. All the self care I mean.

@ursala7 Ursala How long did you have MAI before having to start the antibiotics.?
Do you know how many colonies showed in your sputum in the beginning to what it was just before you started the antibiotics?
I ask because I have a low load of MAI, so far, and often wonder without taking the antibiotic how long I can go with seeing the colonies rise and begin having problems. We are all different but would like to hear how long you feel it took you to get the the point just before the start of the antibiotics.

@ursala7 It is a drag, completely. What kind of meds are you taking for it, if I may ask?
