How does bronchiectasis progress?
MAC & Bronchiectasis | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (90)Comment receiving replies
I will be 90 in two months, and I have been diagnosed with Mac. My doctor never recommended a nebulizer. When I inquired about one, he did prescribe it. I have not used it very much, because the fact that he did not prescribe it, I felt it might not be that beneficial. However, Reading these comments from people who use them, I get the ideas are very beneficial. My doctors want me to take the big three meds, but I am very reluctant. Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.

How are you doing?
Since your post in April of 2023 what have you been doing or not doing?
Do you have other chronic health problems that make it all worse or come into play in the big picture with bronchiectasis.
Did you ever start using the nebulizer, airway clearance etc. etc.
I am 82 and have been told to start taking Azithromycin and Ethambutol.
I keep thinking that one has to look at the big picture and the possible time one has left on this earth....
At this juncture I haven't been diagonsed with any other major chronic health problem. Yes dry eyes and typical age related minor eye problems and moderate hearing loss.
