Is Mayo in Jacksonville as good as UT or Natl Jewish Health for NTM?

i recently went to NJH. I had to use oxygen the entire time I was there, my level was 87. Scared me..but now back in Georgia it's okay. As far as NJH is concerned, some of it is good and some not so much in my opinion. I'm sure everyone that goes there has their own take on it. I was disappointment in several areas where my expectations were high. (perhaps that could happen at any institution).If you want to know more I will be happy to share my experience with you. I don't want to discourage you or encourage you; because it is your final choice to make. There are mixed opinions.....Bon

Thanks so much Bon! I’m beginning to understand that I could likely have a similar experience and feel the way you’re describing if I pursue going to Denver.

I’m a native S, Floridian so UT seemingly would be a much more “comfortable” fit for me if their care is comparable?

I would love your opinion on the areas you felt somewhat let down by NJH?

I’m choosing between there or UT at this point and going to start the process tomorrow.

Thank you so much!!!!

I live in Colorado where my SPO2 is usually 90%. I visit Gulf Shores, AL and my SPO2 is 98%.
Once you get acclimated to 90%, it's not too bad but your stamina is bad. If you got a POC
bring it to Denver along with your handicap placard.
