Hello, I am new to you forum.
I would just like to begin by saying how helpful all of your comments/advice has been.
I was diagnosed with MAC and mild bronchietasis about a month ago and I'm on the 3 medication regime 3x a week.
I am so pleased to read that the side effects of these do diminish over time!

It took my doctors 4 months to make the diagnosis - first a cough that wouldn't move and went to pneumonia, then low pulmonary function results, a CT scan, and a bronchoscopy.
I had never heard of this infection before!

I live in Toronto Canada and wonder are there any other Canadians here?
