Long-term Antibiotics for Bronchiectasis & MAC
Diagnosed w/Bronchiectasis in 2008, MAC in 2011 and have been on many medications since then. Under control for several years, but reinfected a couple of years ago while on antibiotics. My body became somewhat immune to some of meds I was on. I am now taking several more drugs that have pretty significant side affects. Fortunately, I've been okay with them. Anyone else been on antibiotics for this length of time?

2 ReactionsSorry to hear that.
I think the IBS was a misdiagnosis when the sarcoid and MAC were undetected.
You’re too kind! Back at ya!:)
If you are a part of this group, it seems like you get so much info. I am sure you will get good advice and the direction and tests to follow.
I never did either. My husband had the surgery for it when we were in Tennessee. It helped him quite a bit!
