At last - test results 😃

Posted by ssoma151 @ssoma151, 2 days ago

After 11 months, I’ve taken the antibiotics. I finally have a negative test for Mac. The doctor told me I have to test negative for at least a year to be able to say that it’s all gone still feel weak, but I’m starting to be able to do more things than I did this time last year I can work in the garden again I can walk. I can go to the gym and ride the bike for about an hour. I can walk around the stores without a wheelchair so things are looking good. Besides taking the antibiotics, I did everything on my side that I should’ve. I cannot sugar I cut out fast food. I started to intermittent fast. I changed my whole eating habits change my cooking flowers my cooking oils starting being more having more gratitude in my life more thankful had started treating people better stop complaining as much as I used to that seem to help a lot. So I see it’s a lot more than just taking the medicine. It’s the attitude of gratitude.

Congratulations!!! Your post is a reminder of more of what I need to do:). Have to reiterate scoop and Irene's words: Keep up the nebulizing and airway clearance and wear a mask when gardening. MAC is in water, soil, dust, etc. Just be careful and keep us posted.
