i have heard of people occasionally clearing NTM with airway clearance...maybe you are one of them. Celebrate the good news. Although it often seems to come back, hopefully it won't.

I was diagnosed with MAC in March 24...still trying to clear it of course. My first trip to the specialist the physio suggested I try not nebbing, but just doing huff clearing. Maybe because of the large volume of mucus I was producing...she pointed out that the saline drew fluid which might mean more to produce. I was rather shocked, but wanted to believe I could manage without...two weeks later I was sick and now after another 2 weeks in bed I am just starting to get better...so I am certainly back on twice daily nebbing!

I am very pleased for you.

Interesting regarding the saline and mucus production. That’s a good question to ask my doctor next week. I’m worried that if I stop the 7% the MAC will come back so I now do 3.5 in the am and 7 at night.
