I was diagnosed about 16 months ago and Dr said no need to go on the meds, my body can fight it off on it's own, possibly (I need to research this). 16 months later, just got sputum results and I still have it. He said they now recommend anyone testing positive for MAC go on the antibiotics. BUT let me add - my two twin sisters are one year younger than I am and both also have bronchiectasis and MAC. One of them was 18 months into the meds and began to lose her vision. Hence my reluctance to go on the meds.
