Reply to "Chronic productive cough, pulmonary disease and UC, MAC/MAI??"

Ceeeeceeee,

It's looking pretty certain at this point that I have Bronchiectasis. The samples for MAC from my bronchscopy have not grown out over 6 weeks so it's pretty unlikely they will at this point. Have you tried any inhaled steroids? I have read they can be very effective for people specifically with UC and Bronchiectasis. I'm thinking of asking my Pulmo if I can try this route. I am currently receiving no treatment at all and I feel like my symptoms are worsening. I fell and broke my leg and needed surgery 3 weeks ago so I have not been able to exercise which was keeping things at bay I think.
