Kathy-
Another good post and also encouraging.
Great also that your BMI is good.
At this point I am almost working as hard to get my BMI up which is extremely important to having success with BE and a MAC infection. I had gotten down to nearly 90 lbs from 125 lbs and that was causing a couple of problems, including my often tripping over myself and nearly falling, however, no actual fall. With having put on twelve pounds that problem has stopped. Just goes to show us what being underweight can bring about. Thank goodness overall my appetite has been good from the get go....but the weight obviously came off. People who are trying to lose weight have a hard time, sometimes, believing it is most often just as hard to put the weight back on. A reasonable amount of olive oil and avocado oil with salads etc. is helping.
As I mentioned there was improvement on my last C Scan, however, to my disappointment Dr. McShane said there is a new area in the lower left lobe. I suspect I wasn't reaching the lower lobes with the percussion clapping. Also, I think I was concentrating more on my front than my back with the percussion clapping. I am working hard on that with the exercise, percussion clapping, massage hammer device, postural drainage, ACB and huff coughing. April is another C Scan at Baylor, Dallas and hope I will get good results.
Overall I feel absolutely fine, it is just the need to clear the throat of 'sputum' and especially after eating. I don't so much as 'cough' at those times, I suck it up, pull it up, and out.
Do you have the need to clear after eating?
