@mr1123 Many of us feel lost when we are first diagnosed - doctor visits seem to focus tests, results, medications and referrals - with little help on what to do day-to-day, except maybe the words "airway clearance."
One of the most helpful things I found early on, besides the great people in this support group, was to watch the patient conference recordings with the experts.
My current favorite for an in-depth look at bronchiectasis and and why and how to do airway clearance, is from Dr Pamela McShane at UT Tyler, a respected treatment center.
Another are the videos from the 2024 Patient Conference at National Jewish Health
One last tip, if the flutter valve you are use is making your chest hurt, you may need to turn down the intensity for now, and increase it as you strengthen your lungs.
I have been trying to read and watch the recommended programs.
So far the antibiotics have not been to bad.
Thanks
