Good Morning and welcome to Mayo Connect, a community of people living with a wide variety of diseases and conditions, who support each other along the way. We try to be informed medical consumers, and our own best advocates in our care. We are not medical professionals, so not able to provide medical advice. We can tell you what has worked for us (or not) and provide you with information and conversation about your questions.

As you may have learned by now, MAC and Bronchiectasis are considered rare diseases, and it can be hard to find a doctor familiar with treatment. It sounds like you were fortunate to find an ID doc to diagnose you.

Can you tell us a little about your diagnosis, and what led you to Connect? Did the doctor offer any suggestions to help you manage the infection, like inhalers, nebulizer or airway clearance?

The group here is knowledgeable and caring, with a great deal of experience in dealing with all the details, so ask away if you have any questions for us!
Sue
