Has anyone had green mucus for over a year?

Thank you for your description of what it becomes "becomes bubbly white" I always have a feeling of "mucus/phglem" caught at the back of my throat that comes up to my throat, of which I mostly suck up and clear out of my throat...however...it just keeps coming up, hardly any relief. When I do this it is gel like and mostly bubbly white. In between your airway clearance sessions during the day do you continue to have the bubbly white, gel like substance come up to the throat and then clear it out of your throat?

Yes, I do get white bubbly when I wake up and when I exercise. Then I really get to my lying yoga postures, the heavy mucus/phglem comes up. Until I get the thick stuff out and it begins to be more light- toward white bubbly. Then I know that my yoga/and exercise has released the heavier stuff. Then I'll nebulize with7% saline to clean up what's left until white bubbly shows up. I am sort of clear until late afternoon and then the white bubbly occurs and I'll swallow or spit it out until early dinner. I'll do another nebulizing with 7% saline with the hope of sleeping without coughing. Most of the time it works. If I do cough in bed, I'll get up and do the aerobika to get as much mucus out so I can sleep.

I have te same thing esp in morning. Mostly yellow after 5 weeks being on ethambutol and azithromycin.
I was dx with MAC 5 years ago and was stable until last may when i developed metahumanpneumonia virus, was hospitalized and on isolation for 8 days. I was very ill.
This past april developed RUL pneumonia, on 10 days of Ceftan but still had congestion. I was then hospitalized for 5 days IV Zosyn, d/c home on 5 days Ceftan. By the 6th day had frequent bms which lasted 8 days. When I recovered, started MAC tx because there was no change in chest xray and ID consult said I did not need Zosyn! MAC needed to be treated.
