@windwalker Terri, you've said it took you 12 months to seroconvert when you recovered from your illness. And I know it has taken a while for others too.
I just had my scans after the first 6 months of treatment with the Big 3.
I didn't expect to have seroconverted yet, but I kind of expected some improvement. It was a real shock to find out from the pulmonologists there's been no improvement at all.
I've fully complied with the treatment, but it hasn't reduced the amount of nodules and granulomas in my lungs. M. Intracellulare is tough to get rid of because it's mostly in a biofilm state, but I was hoping for a little improvement.
Did many of you show at least some improvement after 6 months? Or did it take much longer? Did anyone with no improvement at 6 months, later go on to recover?
What did you find to help you stay positive and keep waiting for improvement?
I really appreciate all your help and kindness.
