New Diagnosis of MAC/MAI & I'm scared

@ windwalker I too am on 3%, my doctor's recommendation I did try the 7% just to see if I could do it. She was right. I was having coughing spasms that wouldn't stop and all but knocked me out. I'm back on 3% but still coughing a lot. I have a prescribed codeine
cough syrup I take when the night coughing just won't quite. I hate taking it. Even when it's the smallest sip I feel sleepy and dumb the next day...I'm a lousy addict, thank god. I have been nebulizing twice a day but I may cut back to once until my lungs are not so very sensitive. I've also been told I have long lungs. I don't think it's a compliment. I wonder if that makes it harder to cough up. Flib

@flib Hey Flib! After having some nights of extra long hours of sleep; I finally got some energy back today. Extra sleep and the drop in humidity has made a new person out me. How about you, Flib? Did you get your groove back yet?

@flib Hi there. I got a giggle from reading about your long lungs. I must say, I have never heard of that! Is it possible that the 3% saline is also too much of an irritant for your lungs? Maybe you need to take a break from it and see if your cough improves.
