@n4seth Hi. I take it you live in Wisconsin? I am glad you asked about my role as Mentor for this group. I am one of two volunteer Mentors for our group. @sueinmn is the other one. Our group is so active that it required two of us! Anyhow, our job is to welcome new members and help guide them through using the site. We are patients that have bronchiectasis, and have had active mac ourselves. (I have been mac-free since 2014) You can click on my picture icon and read about my treatment plan. We are here to answer your questions and help you find info and resources. We are NOT medical professionals. We have this disease, and can bring info and support to those who are just starting out on this journey. I think you will find that our members offer helpful info., kindness, and friendship. Some form very close bonds and stay on here years even after they have recovered. Those people are our beacons of hope. Are you currently experiencing symptoms besides fatigue?

I am so happy I found you! (Yes, I live in WI, but am close enough to do Rochester if recommended) The deep, ever present cough keeps me from ever getting a good night's sleep, but the fatigue is now more than just lack of sleep. I am feeling extremely anxious as well-probably because I don't have a plan yet and haven't started treatment. Being quarantined for the coronavirus is probably giving me way too much time to think and stress. Thank you Terri! It is so comforting to know I have a lifeline!
