Thank you for this. No he has not spoken about airway clearance. I’ve actually started this myself a few weeks ago. He basically shut me down with any other suggestions at this point he only wants me to go for the CT and then he’ll discuss further. Prior to this I barely even got a cold. This past summer, I had acquired Covid, which affected me systemically. I had terrible stomach pain, and with all the testing the bronchitectasis was discovered. And then a CT. I believe strongly that the reason my lung function improved is because I’ve been doing autogenic airway clearance and nebulizing with 3% saline daily.

Do you have the option of seeking a NTM/ bronchiectasis specialist? I personally don't have a lot of confidence in "my way or no way" docs.
