Thanks CMI, this is what i am sure lies ahead for me.. i am guessing you chose to take the meds and fight this thing, right now i do have a very low BMI 🙁 the journey scares me but I need to take it head on. I have heard many say that you are more likely to die with MAC then to die from MAC which is very encouraging. This forum in such a short time has provided much support and knowledge I could not have gained alone. Thanks for you insight and lets kick this thing in the ass 🙂

@rvan I also started meds with a low BMI, I was 47kgs, I started on Fortisip (made by Nutricia) ready made drinks they were yummy and helped put the weight on, a gastro specialist saw how skinny I was and prescribed them for me, a life saver. All the best Heather
