@mimdavidson Hello again. As you may have read already, when one has bronchiectasis; the threat of recurring mac, pseudomonas, etc., is always there. The lungs are permanently compromised. That is why I have been on maintenance meds since 2014. You can click on my picture icon and my regimen will pop up. My med plan may not be right for all patients because it would depend on your suseptibility test outcome. So far, this has kept me mac free for the last five yrs.

Hi Terri, i was doing more research as I wait to get put back on the drugs. I was a little shocked to see that it says that medication is for life. I see that you have maintenance for your MAC. Are the doctors ever worried about resistance? Also, is it common to feel very, very sore and achey in joints and muscles? Man, I fluctuate, but feel like I have been hit by a truck most days. Thanks and I hope all is well with you. Carolyn
