Jane - Even though it doesn't seem like it when you read about it on Connect, Bronchiectasis & (especially) MAC are quite rare. As a result many smaller communities lack pulmonologists and respiratory therapists with a good understanding of our conditions and how to treat them. You may need to seek out professionals with more experience. National Jewish Health (NJH), the Mayo Clinics, and several other places in the country are highly experienced in treating us.
Is there any chance you can seek treatment in one of those places?
