MAC & Bronchiectasis | Last Active: Nov 24, 2020 | Replies (105)Comment receiving replies
In reply to gej53.....May I ask how much you pay for the solution on Amazon as Pt. D doesn’t cover this and so far, I haven’t had any luck with getting it covered. Your situation sounds so much like mine....do you have MAC? I initially had some very strange bacteria that my pulmonologist did not treat and no other “bugs” have shown up, although he rarely has me do a sputum test as my bronchiectasis is not progressing very much on yearly CAT scans.....my energy levels fluctuate and my weight isn’t that easy to hold on to (many people feel jealous, but not when one wants some weight). Otherwise, I’ve been pretty good king health wise. Twice daily nebulizing must really be key! This is a valuable site. Stay safe and may you have a nice day😊

migizii, please read through each of these links to see if K2MK4 is a stone unturned that may offer relief for your bronchiectasis. Notice at the end of the westonprice link the stress is on food sources mentioned not supplements. That is where your money is best spent.

Morning! I experienced unrelenting coughing. They tried treating me as if I were experiencing allergies. My medical doc ordered a cxr and sent me to a pulmonologist. He did a CT and felt strongly I had MAC from the presentation of the CT. I had a bronchoscopy and he did biopsies and washings and they all returned no growth so he is treating the bronchiectasis. I still worry about the MAC. The nebulizing with a vest it the only thing that helps me clear my lungs. When I asked about 7% he felt it would give me bronchospasm. I am going to ask him again in January. It was around $40 for 60 vials. I am alternating it with my 3% to make it last longer. Since I did well with it I hope it will give me a script for it. I guess this is a lengthy response for asking the price :). I also have lymphocytic colitis so am scared to death to think about taking the ATB necessary to treat MAC. So far my CT scan has been stable from the previous year. Guess a little tiring to neb but am thankful that so far it seems to keep my chest stable. I still cough but nothing compared to my initial presentation. Sorry so wordy. You have a great day too!!!
