Katherine....have a great holiday season...happy and healthy! I will leave for NJH to start my long awaited evaluation on January 5 2017 with Dr Huitt who l admire and others who have had her ...seem to also. I have all my doctors here...internist, Pulmonologist, ID, allergist who I regard highly but non the less know they are not NTM specialists. They are very professional and pleasant about me getting the "expert" opinion on my MAC. I had a very successful cataract removal last week since l knew l could not be checked for side effects on optic nerve with a cataract hiding the nerve....so that is done and went flawlessly and that new to me DR has had other clients with NTM so that is good..I set up appts every three months to be checked by him if l go on the ethambutol.
all you fellow NTMers will have an ironic laugh.....l realized that l would be in deep trouble post op from my horrible cough..which would disrupt all the work done on the eye.....so fortunately the pharmacist at Walgreens reecommended a strong anti cough medicine to take post operatively to stop my cough....Delysum....mostly dextromethorphan. and it worked! the cough was supressed although l was gorked out totally but ...that is ok...l rested and slept.
Next project ....packing for the long time away from home..
Any questions anyone has that l should ask the experts????
I have one...why cannot NTM be caught from Welll water..? and if not....if the well water goes thru a refrigerator with a filter and then an ice maker....can the NTM be caught.
any more???

Merry Xmas...Happy Hanukah....Happy NEw year to all
