Personal decision we have to make for ourselves but I choose to take only Azithromycin and all kinds of immune building supplements to fight mine. They found that I had MAC after they discovered I had pneumonia when they were doing a $50 heart scan that our hospital was offering. (heart is in great shape but found pneumonia). Took antibiotics for 10 days, CT in 3 weeks which still showed infection, then bronchoscopy in 3 more weeks, then 6 weeks later results showed MAC. One pulmonologist said do nothing but watch it, another suggested big 3 but would let me just take azithromycin if I chose to do that. infectious disease doctor suggested big 3 but said I could do what I chose to do so I chose to just take azithromycin and also take all kinds of immune building supplements and 6 weeks later my CT showed cavities but no infection That being said, I am going to continue taking azithromycin and supplements to hopefully keep it away.
I am happy that I chose not to start the big 3 months ago and apparently what I choose to do is working. Of course, I am a very determined woman that stays active with mowing my acreage and staying busy doing physical labor around my house.
All in all. I am happy with my decision and think I’ll make it many healthy years doing what I am doing.
