I just joined the forum. Was diagnosed with MAC Lung Disease one and a half year ago. Have done well walking daily, exercising at a Woman's health center and using a nebulizer. But lately I am coughing more and experiencing chest pain, hoarseness and fatigue. I am not taking any antibiotics yet because I react so poorly to them. Am hoping I will learn more on this forum.

Hi Nancy. I am reinfected with MAC (after 4 years) and am on meds 3 x a week. Are you still seeing your infectious disease doctor or pulmonologist? MAC is a progressive disease and it may be time for a check-up again. I definitely have fatigue with MAC and hoarseness also.

Correction. I was diagnosed in March of this year! It just seems like a year and half ago!
