I just started monitoring my oxygen levels. They have been around 93.
I asked if my most recent sputum culture could be tested for (mycobacteria aviums complex)
And the answer was no not at this time.
I will try again after this 28 days of antibiotics is finished.
Thank you for your reply. I’m not sure if they tested for mycobacteria aviums complex,
I will ask. I have not monitored my oxygen that would be logical. I know awhile back it was at 95%. I never heard of mycobacteria aviums complex until I became a member of this site.
Wouldn’t drs normally text for this without being asked especially being a pulmonologist? Or should I start being a stronger advocate for myself?
