amn17 ---- I'm responding although I have no answers. I've not been diagnosed with MAC -- just a little of it but Mayo's didn't feel it was enough to take the meds. I have bronchiectasis. I'm older -- 77 -- so I don't have a regular job. We are farmer/ranchers and the work I do depends on whether I feel like doing it. I have raised and shown Labradors for more than 30 years and Mayo's suggests I not be around the animals more than necessary. I have a young man who has worked for me a long time and I'm blessed with that. I cook lunch each day for the guys who work here. I was a music teacher for 27 years and I have a real estate business in town. So..... my work is varied and I can go at my own speed. So, again, I'm not much help but I didn't want to not respond. I do pretty well most of the time. When I'm having a flare (and am doing so right now) I don't feel so great with the meds but feel lucky to be able to do what I can. I think the hairspray might not be the best environment for you but..... you should ask your doctor about that. I feel sure he will most likely say the same in that I doubt hairspray is recommended for anyone with a lung problem.
