Sue- In February of 2023 you stated " My bronch has not progressed for 5 years". How are you doing today??? Hope all is still good.
Also, when you do air way clearance do you bring up some clear/white "mucus" and some colored. This may be hard to answer, however, do you average a certain amount of colored "mucus" in a day. I ask because I wonder if a few colored "mucus" plugs in a day is what we should expect or is it too much and it might be getting worse or is too little of an amount???? However, my worst problem at this point in time is the constant needing to clear my throat. No other symptoms that would indicate an exacerbation and pray that after two years of being finally diagonsed it doesn't get worse.

We shall see if mine has progressed when I see the pulmonologist in September.
I am preparing to send sputum samples, and I think she is ordering a CT.
I produce only very small amounts of clear sputum at this time - probably less that 1 tablespoon a day. When I have an exacerbation, that increases, and the color is generally yellow or grayish. I do not have the throat-clearing problem as long as my allergies and sinus drainage are kept in check.
