No. No airway clearance mentioned. I haven’t coughed any or had any fever. Just shortness of breath, abdominal and back pain.

Hmm, maybe you need to call and ask. It is a huge part of clearing our lungs to get rid of the mucus that harbors the MAC bacteria. And accumulated mucus can contribute to your shortness of breath.
Have you been diagnosed with asthma, bronchiectasis, COPD, Cystic Fibrosis or another lung disease? Usually one or more of these go hand-in-hand with the MAC diagnosis.
