It suggests I might have a small airways disease...something about Mycobacterium (?????) As soon as I can get in to see a Pulmonary dr., he wants them to run a tube and camera down my nose/throat into my lungs, and aspirate the Multifocal clusters of micronobacterium. I'm really confused because I don't have a name of the disease. Sorry about rambling on.

Please, please, PLEASE stick with your medical professionals and ignore just about every post on this thread (except my plea). I am a professor of Internal Medicine at a NY Medical School and practicing clinician Board Certified for 30 years and I wouldn't even dream of throwing out the kind of advice I've read here----runs from pro-biotics, to vitamin C, to spiral chest CT to repeat antibiotic courses, sleep, and probably the kitchen sink. Everyone means well but this is not a problem for amateurs. A little scary that they are thinking some species of mycobacterium (this is the tuberculosis family)---perhaps they said mycoplasma which is totally different. Now that you have a pulmonary specialist the odds are good they will definitively diagnose the problem and treat it. GOOD LUCK AND GET WELL
