Hi I am 85 years old and was diagnosed five years ago when I had pneumonia. But Mac was

suspected isix years before that but couldn’t get a good test. Six months ago they found I had nodules in my lungs. My only symptoms are tiredness tiredness tiredness. Not every day. And I still walk 2 miles a day. There is no way I would be treated with those three anabiotic’s. For the ladies that’s doing research I lived in Indonesia in the 60s. Maybe that’s where I got it. Anyway that’s my story. Having a second CAT scan in another three weeks. Hope you all are getting better and better.

Hi @bibes and welcome to Connect. Your extreme tiredness must so frustrating.

I wanted to introduce you to @jammer, @sounder27, and @windwalker as they have experience with MAC and may be able to offer you support.

Back to you @bibes, you mentioned that you would not be treated with those antibiotics. Why is that the case?
