Hi! I thought it was just me but now I know. I had burning and discomfort in my chest for months..it was reflux and it made me so sick on my stomach also. It’s scary because I thought it was my lungs too but I’m very grateful it was not. If I eat 3 hours before bed I’m ok if not I have to sit up or it will cause discomfort. And about the thumb does it have anything to do with our lungs? I have been having some horrible pains in my thumbs and it feels like I can’t use them at times. I thought it was RA. All the strange things in life. 🙂 hugs to all. Stay safe Rita.

@america Not Terry, but about the thumb - As far as I know, thumb pain is not related to MAC or lungs. In my case it is arthritic deterioration - it has pretty much given my body fits for 30 years now. Hands, feet, hips, neck, back, now starting in knees and elbows.
Repair surgery is almost like annual maintenance for me...

Rita, I believe my thumbs hurt from too much time on my cell phone texting on FaceBook, etc. Could that be your issue also?
