Hi. I was seeing a pulmonologist who referred me to an Infectuous Disease doctor. The ID doc has asked if I was keeping up with my pulmonologist. I would prefer not to see both. Do many people see both? Both doctors are part of a big system and was wondering if that might be the issue. Maybe the system wants their doctors to encourage many referrals in-house??? It will be my 5th month on MAC antibiotics for strains Intracellularae and Porcinum. Also, has anyone used their good pulse- ox levels to reduce treatments. It would seem that the o2 levels might be a good indicator of need for more or less bronchodilator medications. Albuterol has caused large tremors with me when using regularly. Thanks for any advice and so glad to participate in this forum.
