I agree with you too. What will be will be. I think I have the willpower to feel good for years. Someday it may get me but untill then I’ll be rolling along😃
So, you only took Azithro?
The only place where I don't agree with your very encouraging post is when you say, "... But I'd like to stay on the azithromycin and I hope he'll have me do that..." That's a very bad idea for a couple of reasons.
First, even though we use it routinely with MAC, and people talk about using a Z-Pak all the time, it really is a "big gun" and needs to be reserved for when it is truly needed. If you stay on azithromycin alone at the end of your treatment, any MAC left in your lungs will become resistant to it. If you later have a bad flare, what will they give you?
Otherwise, please keep on sharing - it helps to hear success stories.
