After reading so many comments, I am a little concerned that my doctor has said nothing about how I can/should take care of my lungs other than taking the three prescriptions. He just doesn't give me much information, other than I have MAC. I don't even know which kind. He did a culture, but told me nothing about the results. Mine is not very bad, but I'd like to keep it from getting worse. I am 79, and weigh only 95 pounds. I have several other health issues that I am learning to deal with, but by far, the CFS is the hardest! Sounds like I need to drill my doctor...

Has your doctor talked to you about airway clearance. There is a Facebook page called Lung Matters that has a lot of very valid information on keeping your lungs clean, probiotics in particular for any stomach issues, etc as you continue with the antibiotics. I've found the page very useful for managing Mac and the antibiotics.
