1-2 months after beating the NTM and ending the Clarithromycin (and other antibiotics) I have increased shortness of breath. My pulmo thinks the Clarithromycin was reducing my COPD inflammation, and now the inflammation is back.

However, she is hesitant to put me on just the Clarithromycin because if the NTM returns, it could develop resistance before we even know it's back.

Anyone else in this dilemma? What did your doc recommend?
