To start or not to start the antibiotics?

Yeah, I noticed my insurance didn’t cover the saline. It wasn’t that expensive anyway. Does this mean we will have to use the saline nebs for the rest of our lives or only when the MAC is acting up?

When I asked Dr. Winthrop at OHSU about avoiding MAC he said that's what the nebulizing and other airway clearance is for—prevention. The more mucus we keep out of our airways the less chance of ANY bugs having the opportunity to grow. Unless they come up with a miracle I expect to do this for the rest of my life.
