Hi Terri,
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Sometimes I feel I’m at the end but I’m not ready to stop working I still have plenty of years to go but just getting into the shower is an effort. I have tried postural drainage which I have not noticed a changed yet but maybe because my pseudomonas is back so I’m back on the gentomycin and albuteral in the nebulizer, I still take mucinex 2 tabs of mucinex twice daily, along with advair and all my other meds. I’m going to have my partner try doing the clapping this weekend to see if that gives some relief. Where do I get this from?
The dr told me it’s everywhere in water soil etc and I’m more susceptible that people without health issues. Sounds like you are telling me certain geographical areas have a higher risk.

That is right Joann, some geographical areas are 'hot spots' for MAC. May I ask what state you live in?
