@anunez Hi there! Keep on trying to use the 7% saline. It helps to kill the mac. Don't do the whole vial at once if it irritates your lungs too much. They will need to build up a tolerance for it. Nebulize as to what is slightly uncomfortable for you. The object is to irritate the lungs enough to cause you to cough up gunk.

@anunez our mentor, windwalker, gave some good advice regarding the 7%saline. My pulmonologist started me on it as soon as I was diagnosed so I don’t know anything different, but gradually increasing what you can I think is a really good idea. Although each case is different, I have been fortunate in not contracting MAC/NTM yet (was diagnosed in 2017).
