Thank you for sharing. Do you do postural drainage too? With Azithromycin 3 times week, I assume 250mg. Does it hurt your stomach? How long have you been taking it? I want to know that particularly bad bacteria you had and treated with Tobramycin. The bacteria I have is sensitive to Tobramycin but my doctors never mention about treating with it.
Just taking everything in since I am new to MAC disease. Am I to assume that you do not have MAC but periodically you end up with some type of lung infection which causes you to have to take an antibiotic. I have not started the Big 3 and haven't decided as to whether I will. So many side effects. I am 75 and wondering if it's worth getting some other problem from the meds at this stage of my life. Thank you
If you have GERD or silent reflux you are supposed to sleep on your LEFT side, not right side. Back is ok too. Raised up 30 degrees.
