What is Dry Bronchiectasis?

I was diagnosed with Bx about 10 years ago after many years of undiagnosed cough and possibly mild asthma. I have been nebulising for last 3 years and the sputum volume seems to be increasing. Yesterday I produced 2 x7oz cups.

The sputum volume is becoming scary. Saw specialist last August and they still maintain my Bx is mild, the 2x sputum samples which showed MAC at beginning of year cleared by then (perhaps a benefit of large sputum clearance?) and that asthma is a factor.

I have just ordered Lignosis which I had delivered today...hoping this will reduce sputum volume. Will try to remember how to create a post about Lignosus. 🙏

I agree - the volume of sputum you are producing seems quite a lot. I'm not sure I would wait until August to talk to the pulmonologist about it.

May I ask what you are using to nebulize, and what kind of airway clearance exercises you use? Also, are you on any medication to manage your asthma?
