Hi Sue, thanks for your lengthy reply. I also do the saline solution in the nebulizer twice a day, postural training and at times use my arobica device.
My latest CT scan showed that my nodules Have gotten a bit bigger. But the doctor has no more suggestions at this point. I don’t think that the Saline solution kills the Mac ;it just helps the cleaning process of the lungs. I tend to have exacerbations 2 to 3 times a year and he puts me on Augmentin for two weeks. I am curious which anabiotic‘s you were placed on and also I’m curious if most of us are 60 years or older. Thanks so much, Barb in San Diego😇 I was first diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome which makes the lungs vulnerable. And the pulmonologist said the Mac infection was caused by my dirty showerhead at home. The showerhead needs to be cleaned profusely with vinegar at least once a month.
