Thank you Sue for explaining. I now understand lack of further info on Mychart. I do not have MAC/NTM but just Burkholderia cepecia that has colonized/infected since April 2021 and never went away. That buy is causing a lot of lungs issues and very hard to treat/eradicate. I coughed up a lot of blood (just like vomiting) in March and had to rush to ER, stayed in the hospital for 5 days from infection/flare up. CT in June stated chronic infection. I produce yellow/green mucus every day (2 tablespoon).

Have they treated your infection with medication?
Also, from what I read, airway clearance and is very important if you have it.

What airway clearance do you do? And since it is hard to eradicate, how do yu sterilize any equipment you use for clearance?
