My 88 year old mother has been treated by a pulmonologist in the Milwaukee are for MAI and Bronchiectasis for the last several years. She is currently on Ethambutol 400mg/2 tablet daily and Azithromycin 250 3x/ daily. Rifampin was attempted and lead to horrible consequences because she is on Coumadin. They tried Aricayse nebulizer for 4 months and she could not tolerate it. She is losing weight and increasingly short of breath. Before this she was an active , strong woman always looking much younger than her age. I’m reading about saline treatments etc and wondering what else can be done. Does anyone know of a specialist in the Milwaukee area. Or Chicago?
