Hi!
Please stop reading the Internet… for now. Yes, it is a serious chronic illness but many people live decades with it. Keep in mind that clinicians struggle with this disease because there is very little research or definitive result data for them. I have Bronchiectasis, MAC, and most probably chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
I’m 59 years old and have been on the Big 3 treatment for 6 months. Side effects are not that bad for me and tolerable. I actually feel better on meds than I did before diagnosis.
I freaked out initially- WE ALL DO!! But put your mind at ease and know there is a ton of people here that are Living this disease and our here to support you!!
Blessings, Dee
