I see, so you were clear from May to September, and now positive again. Frustrating. Again, I am new to all of this but National Jewish Health Center seems to be an excellent facility and I trust they will be able to give you the best advice on next steps. I have been reading about protocols for recurrence/reinfection and there are definitely tools to help you fight this. Sorry to hear about the 24/7 cough, that must be equally frustrating. Do you find the compression vest productive? My pulmonologist mentioned it last appointment but I am just starting to nebulize and it all seemed a little much to take on all at once, so I told her I would get back to her on the vest. I also am starting a pulmonary physio program soon and wanted to ask them what they thought about the different airway clearance options for me. My issue is I have little to no cough - just an occasional dry cough - with no sputum production. Even nebulizing I am dry, dry, dry. And yet my CT shows mucus impaction. Grrrrr. How do I get that dang mucus out!!! Anyway, best of luck to you at National Jewish Health Center. I have faith they will get you on a successful path forward.

I didn’t want to do vest at first my copay is 150 a month. It helps plus nebulizer. My cough is dry sometimes but also get mucus. I just worry that since I went off meds in may it made things worse but the other thing is being on antibiotics for that long cannot be good either I have ct scan middle of October. I am sure it will not be encouraging. 😞
