Kay,
I too had trouble producing a sample but it seems that once the infection clears a bit, your body figures out what it needs to do and it becomes easier to clear your lungs. After 6 yrs, I feel what I have left is the effects of broncheitasis (contracted from the MAC). My samples from the MAC have been negative for 2 yrs .

I am so happy for you. I seem to have started with bronchieticus and have<br>my c-scans show evidence of MAC. I will get that sputum sample in though<br>before any intervention. I just don't know what I have. I do understand<br>James statement about the isolation of fatigue. I used to be so active<br>and involved in so many community events. Wishing for better days! But<br>I love the courage and advice I find on these posts.<br>
