At a loss… nocardia AND MAC?!!

I think it’s different meds as well. And yes, there is no damage as of yet or minimal damage. I did reach out to UT Tyler - I honestly didn’t think I was in a spot to need a true lung specialist but maybe I do, to be proactive, or stay ahead of damage? I lost my dad at 68 to Pulmonary Fibrosis. So it certainly does scare me. I’ve never smoked or done anything to damage my lungs, I believe like you said the perfect storm. I don’t ever get that lucky with the lotto!!

If I were in your situation, I would reach out to pulmo and ID at UT Tyler - they are noted for both. If you plan, like most of us, to live your best life possible for as long as possible, early intervention makes a lot of sense.
