Hi Renee. Interestingly enough, the one drug my pulmonologist told me not to take for pneumonia or other non-NTM infections is Z-pak! I too have been reluctant to start drug treatment for MAC because of side effects, length of treatment, and low success rate; but luckily my current airway clearance routine is effective and enables me to remain active. Good luck with your new pulmonologist.

Thank you for your information. Who knows about these doctors. So far one pulmonologist says don’t do anything and two doctors say Azithromycin until I go to the 2nd opinion pulmonologist on the 26th. Makes one not know what to do so I will continue taking Paximune and another immune building natural thing and lots of vitamins. Also getting BComplex and B12 shots. So far no air restrictions and I have been working hard in my yard. I even put down 55 big bags of mulch so definitely getting exercise. Lol. Hopefully my body can fight a lot of this off. I am trying to be proactive about this. At least now I feel like doing something rather than sleeping. Lol
