I read over this post and the other comments and I must say it was enough to make my head spin! I am very thankful I do not have asthma to deal with along with MAC and Bronchiectasis. I empathize with those that have a more complicated picture to sort out. I did want to ask, after reading, I saw Albuterol (which I use twice daily followed by 7% saline as part of routine airway clearance) was listed as a rescue inhaler. However, it is not a steroid, just a bronchodilator? Just making certain as I don't want to have anything to do with steroids if not necessary! Some things are unavoidable, as with those with asthma must use something, but in my case I don't want to unnecessarily complicate the situation.
