It has been a long time but not long enough...

I cannot actually believe a year has passed since having an episode of hemoptysis warranting posting about........last evening broke that span though. So far it has been what I will term a light moderate episode.  Maybe I have forgotten but I seem to feel worse than I recall, overall. I am still not on any treatment for the mycos. The only change there has been in a recent result of sputum specimen analysis and due to discovery of species outrunning lab abilities to identify but the gap seems to have closed and instead of having MAC/MAI label, my bugs are now refined to being m. chimaera.......don't think my body cares what these nasties are called......they are not welcome creatures in the lungs.

I am observing my usual practices, started a course of levaquin (seven days-500mg), keeping quiet and still, not eating heavy diet, attempting to not aggravate coughing etc. --- so far seem to be holding the line.......hoping this doesn't drag out.  Also fervently hope this won't require inpatient care. I don't plan to report to the doctor right now. Later.
