I’m not sure how to address a question to a specific person here and I sometimes feel like I’m butting in with an unrelated question. But I am wondering if anyone can explain pseudomonas and how it is related to Mac and bronchiectasis.

@sounder, Do you see how I started this sentence with your @ name? That is how you direct responses to specific people.

The way I understand it -
it is one of the types of bacteria commonly found in patients with MAC and those with Bronchiectasis. It was the last bacteria for me to get rid of - took a long time and it takes a lot of work to keep it gone -which is why lung hygiene/ airway clearance is a MUST ( once every day and twice daily when you feel something coming on) A routine that we must accept as a daily regimen. PLUS what some of the other posters have said- exercise, adequate sleep, good nutrition and positive attitude. I’ve incorporated my bible study in with my Pulmonary therapy / nebulizer treatments and that has been a blessing to me. Best wishes and be stubborn and persistent about taking care of yourself.
