@windwalker yesterday I coughed up blood. I went back to my infectious disease doctor who was unhappy with me because my pulmonologist referred me to UCLA for consultation. So I had to beg them not to stop treating me. We agreed to start on azithromycin for 3 days a week. It has been a month since I was referred to UCLA and I haven't heard from them yet. My ID doctor finally agreedwith my pulmonologist that a biopsy at UCLA would be a good idea because the MAC has been growing fast and a sensitivity was never done. I just wish my doctor"s could communicate and not get their feelings hurt. It is so hard on me. My ID doctor also put in a request to my insurance for Arikayce inhalation. They faxed the request to my pharmacy; they gave it back to me very confused with it. I am confused too.. I am very tired and wish all I had to worry about was getting the right treatment and getting well.

@xfirerose You have every right to be tired and frustrated. Now, more than ever. Is there ANY way you can get to the Mayo Clinic is Phoenix, Az.?
