I would think you and your doctor should decide which is the best based upon your current condition...and how the flu itself might affect this if you got it. You need to weigh the risk vs complications of flu in this case.
I know that contracting flu with my condition could be fatal in my case.

My husband has been "nagging" me to have it. He was asking me what could be the worst situation for my PN compared to the possibility of having flu considering my predisposition to lung problem?

en bloc, as I read more information about M.Avium, it makes me more concerned about it. If one does not have a negative result after 12 months, in all likelihood, the medicines will not work. Well, I hope that I could finish the course without much side effects (today will be the first blood monitoring).

Thank you for "listening".
