@anniepie Hi What your Drs are doing is exactly what I was going to say, I was the same after around 2.5 years on 3 days a week meds I still had MAI, I upped the meds to daily (which I should have been on already because I had cavities) and thats when things started to repair in my lungs and MAI did not show in my sputums . Amikacin was an easy drug to take, side effects were in the first few weeks, when I lost my voice for a few days, then I would take a break from it. Let me know if you go on Amikacin, I may be able to help. For me upping meds and Amikacin worked so hopefully it will for you to.

@heathert Thanks so much for your kind -- and always helpful -- reply Heather. You are a dear woman, and you've given me real hope.
So many people on this site are so kind. You are all saviours! Thank you to everyone.
I pray that all of us and the people we love and care for make it through this awful new crisis affecting the world.
