Everyone has their own way by dealing with this disease. I was diagnosed in August of 2021. I have no symptoms however I walk 5 miles every morning and do my vest airway clearance twice a day. I plan to keep this up because I would refuse the treatment. According to my ID doctor it never goes away even if you take the medicine. You can be in remission but it comes back. I am afraid of every side effect of all three antibiotics. He has also told me he has quite a few women with this who have lived with it 20+ years without taking the medicine. He has told me and I have read nothing good about it. With my age of 72 he feels I am doing the right thing. It all depends I think if you’re willing to chance taking the medicine. Life is a gamble for sure. Do what you feel best after discussing it with your doctor and I wish you the best.

Thank you for your response.
If the medication makes me sick I probably won’t take it either. I have ordered some natural stuff already and since I don’t have a breathing problem and I am always working doing something I figure I can fight it off. Really building my immune system.
