For a short some time I used Afflovest, but due to rib pain I had to stop. In addition to NAC, albuterol, 7% saline (no MAC drugs), I use the Autogenic Drainage app available in app stores, which I find to be efficient. Nonetheless, with cleaning/sterilizing/nebbing/clearance routine it seems I have more like 23 hours/day instead of 24.

My ID Dr told me pain is not a symptom of MAC . Well , it is for me

I hear you scoop! Working on our health becomes ever more time consuming as we get older. I need to add 30 minutes a day for all the stretching and exercises I do to keep my pain under control, plus another 15-30 minutes for mindfulness and meditation for the same - but this plus airway clearance keep me functioning.
I like to keep it in perspective. My daughter's 45 yo BFF is fighting for her life with chemo, radiation and surgery!
And I can still work in my garden, with help for the heavy and dusty stuff! And when I dance, I'm not wearing an oxygen cannula like an acquaintance we ran into last Sunday.
Life is good!
