daily airway clearance IS Treatment. Like flossing your teeth. Hydration, exercise, and avoidance of ... it does get complicated, I must leave off from trying to state a complete list here. This group is phenomenal at educating about the diversity of patient symptoms, solutions and frustrations and successes. Like you I feel that approximately a third of my life is ahead of me, (though you could claim more)! Fear and anxiety is to be expected, and taking action to educate and advocate for yourself will help dispel the fear and anxiety. I am two and a half years into this and I am finally going to spend two weeks at National Jewish Health in Denver. I'm in the Medicare age group and so I believe the care will mostly be covered. They put together an intensive investigative two weeks of appointments covering many specialized components of this difficult complex of disease. I hope your quest for health will be amplified by being here in this extraordinary group.

Thank you for your response. I am very sad that my pulmonologist told me to stop with saline nebulizer 3 years ago when I wasn't producing sputum. I wasted 3 years of airway clearance, and now the MAC spread to another lobe. Still, I can only go forward, and now feel I have to do everything possible to contain this. It sounds like National Jewish Health in Denver is the place to be! Wishing you full and complete health!
