I still say chest xrays do not show mac. Maybe it is the people reading the xray that don't know what they are looking for. I went almost 10 to 15 years not knowing what it was until a young intern sent me for broncoscope. They grew the sample and said I had mac. Maybe u do not have mac. Maybe phemonia. Please excuse the spelling. I have a stack of xrays an inch thick. When they found it I went on the big 3 for 6 months. It comes and goes and it always there waiting to make you feel bad again.
I had issues with the salt but have figured it out. It is not the salt but the other concockshuns that I have tried. I do lots of silly stuff trying to beat this.Not much I have not tried. I finally have the dr giving me antibiotics that I can use as needed. I may go 3 months feeling good and then I get run down and I am back on the drugs. My issue is they are getting less effective each time I do this. Hoping the salt 7% saline will be the answer. These people on this forum will help u they are the best.

Garry you said, "I still say chest xrays do not show mac." How about a CT scan? Pulmo ordered one for me a year or so ago. Read it along with the radiologist. The report to me was that my Mac had "improved."
