I am a 64 year old man who was diagnosed with Mac 20 months ago. I have now developed Bronchiectasis. I am so relieved to read all of your stories. It makes me feel my low energy, sore ribs, constant coughing and troubled sleep are not in vain. That it’s part of the disease. I am thin 145 pounds and was worried when I lost 9 pounds. But am getting appetite back and gained 3 pounds.
I’m in the 4th month of taking the Big 3 medicines and they seem to be helping some. It just gets discouraging when aspirin and pennicilan work fast and these drugs take so long. And my heart goes out to those of you who have been on meds for years.
Thanks for listening.
