@dolson0730 You are looking to connect with members that have NTM specific bacteria.

You will notice I moved your question to a discussion in the MAC & Bronchiectasis group where members like @judyhodgern @pop55 @pandora24 @rockorobin @128128terry11t are already discussing this topic. I did that so that there is a central location to discuss this topic. I know you have been part of this conversation in the past but you may want to scroll through the previous comments for suggestions, if you haven't done so already.

You asked members what members are being treated with. May I ask what treatment you are receiving?

@dolson..I had C.Abscessus show up in my sputum back in October..my Dr isn’t concerned because it’s common for bacteria to come and go..I have had this happen several times already..probably a contaminant
