Hi Everyone. Considering nebulizing Arikayce only for MAC infection. Has anyone done this, and how successful was it? Unable to do parts of Big 3 due to drug interactions for other conditions, allergies and drug sensitivities. Diagnosed MAC in 2017, never treated, was livable. At this point plummeting oxygen levels and shortness of breath leave no choice. Your input is really appreciated. Barb

Barb, sorry to hear about plummeting oxygen levels and shortness of breath. I hope Arikayce will help.
