Hi! I was recent diagnosed in April with MAC after living with mild Bronchiectasis since 2018.
I started treatment with the Big 3 in June. However, treatment isn’t necessarily as bad as symptoms even though I read the same things. After 2 months, I feel 50% better than I did before. Mind you, the side effects produce some of the same symptoms as the disease -but for me, on a smaller scale and more tolerable. You should definitely sign up for the virtual seminar sent by men 08. You can sign up by listing yourself under education speciality. This worked for me and someone emailed me directly concerning attendance. My best piece of advice// Get educated on your disease!! The medical community is just not well versed in this and you have to be your own health advocate. Really hope this helps!

What are the big 3 specifically?

Nana43 — you said after two months on antibiotics you feel 50% better. What symptoms improved — fatigue, coughing, mucus?
Thanks! Cate
