Thank Sue, I understand that but I asked Happy 2023 with respect to her comment that it was part of a plan laid out by NJH for keeping the Pseudo knocked back. I wondered if in that context it was prescribed or if she already has some sort of asthma etc. I know Pseudo causes very bad inflammation and perhaps airway constriction as a result so wondered if it was part of a plan for someone without actual Asthma who had Pseudo? Does this make sense?

Irene, I am Pam from Arvada, just outside Denver, and am treated by NJH. My Bronchiectasis was diagnosed in 2013, and I did not find helpful care with any of my pulmonologists until I became a patient at NJH in November of 2023. From that time with the plan my pulmonologist laid out, I have had no exacerbations nor had to take any antibiotics. Prior to that I would have chest infections at least 2 times a year and for the most part was prescribed Levaquin.
NJH has a yearly lecture series in the spring which can be attended online for a reasonable fee. The takeaway from their last lecture series was this.....Airway Clearance, Airway Clearance, Airway Clearance!!

It does make sense, so I would like t hear what she says too.
