A quirky manifestation of bronchiectasis

Age 19 to 73....you have learned how to manage. When people ask me how I am doing because of the BE with MAC I tell them I am managing. That is about it, managing.
I had not heard of stacking breath so I looked it up. I guess it is just another "tool" to help with mucus in the lungs. Since you did not mention nebulizing or use of the Aerobika, and said "the only things I have done", I take it you are unable to do either...... nor postural drainage???
I am sure you have experienced much throughout the years....an illness such as yours, BE etc. etc. sure challenges us.

Thank you for responding, Barbara. I have used Aerobika intermittently with some very mild huffing, but this has never brought up secretions. I cannot tolerate saline. The very warm water, which I drink all day long, and the mostly liquid diet is how I have kept the secretions flowing without having to cough. I am on a very short leash with that protocol because I have to guard against coughing and need to keep the secretions thin enough so they just go through me without coughing or can be spit out without a lot of force. So warm water and diet is how I have managed the mucus in my system. I haven’t found another person on the site that has a similar strategy yet and was curious if there were others.
