New Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Diagnosis at 73

My experience with Trikafta has been very positive. Before it, I would routinely have to go through 30 (sometimes 45) minutes of coughing, etc., once I lay down to go to sleep. And that was just one effect. Overall, it has made the ordeal of getting junk out of my lungs much, much easier. When I started it, I went through a few days of "purging" when I was bringing up all kinds of junk from my lungs, but things settled down after the purge.

Has the trikafta improved the Bronchietasis, as far as improvement in breathing and less infections? Not sure if you mentioned that you had MAC. If so does the trikafta help with clearing that up? Any side effects you may have experienced?
Thank you
