Sue,
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation.
As for me, I nebulize with abuteral and 7% saline twice daily. (I just started with the 7% ) I finish off with the Aerobica. I take Mucinex once daily in addition to a few more meds.
I exercise at least 5 x weekly and eat healthy.
Although I have had bronchiectasis for at least 8 years, I have just been diagnosed with MAC. I have not had any symptoms in the past and I feel well and energetic.
Dr. wants me on the 3 antibiotics but I have been resistant and fearful of the side effects.
We’re waiting another month until I get a CT scan.

Your doc seemed kind of "quick on the draw" to put you on the Big 3 from what you indicated. There are guidelines for which patients should be considered for the treatment. Will this be your first CT scan? What shows on your CT scan is a big part of the consideration for treatment as well as your symptoms, etc.
