    mycobacterium avium complex

    Hi,<br> <br> Funny you should ask: I just started treatment for MAC, again, about 3 weeks ago.   I actually posted on here about MAC, but did not get as many replies as you have.    Culturing mycobacterium avium one time is not a good way to diagnose MAC.  As some people have replied to you...

    What is your FEV1 Score?

    87% in June 2011 (112% in February 2012)28yo female: I do not do any breathing treatments or take antibiotics regularly (now I do Cayston).  I run quite a bit.  Pilates and yoga (other exercise) helps to keep it stable or raise it.  Weight training actually seems to help me feel the best.
