CT Scans vs Sputum Cultures, which is more important?

Thank you for this information. I had not seen such bad side effects so I will definitely take those into consideration. I have been taking Paximune and just started taking Glutathone. Both are to build your immune system plus I am now taking a lot of vitamin C and a multivitamin which I wasn't taking before. The Paximune is really good for lots of things so I am back on it. At least none of these things have side effects.
I really appreciate your input. I am to young to have any of those side effects so I will focus on quality not quantity if necessary over treatment. I do know that I can take Azithromycin because it is basically a ZPac and I have taken that for different things over the years.
Thanks again. I will be doing more research.

Azithromycin is the antibiotic that you are not supposed to take alone as it could make your MAC worse. If you are just taking it short term that might not apply.
Hi Renee, I just read your blog. How are you doing. Have you opted not to take the Big 3? I have. The side effects terrify me and I am one to get side effects from meds every single time. I’m tiny, and vulnerable to medicines. I couldn’t even take amoxicillin for two days. I can’t believe I got Mac and Bronchiestasis….newly diagnosed this past year!
I’m just gonna take one day at a time and do the best I can with clearance, exercise and a healthy approach. Who knows what’s in store for me or anyone else…..I was just wondering if you had changed your mind about the meds, and how you are feeling in general? Regards. Bon

I have been on the big 3 since Aug 2022 and have the usual nausea and diarrhea. However 3 months ago I failed 2 field view eye tests and my eye specialist immediately took me off ethambutol. Everyone is different, but precautions must always be taken. I continue with azithromycin and rifampin for as long as it takes.
