Sue- I believe at one point you were doing a yoga pose (dog pose) to help with clearing the lungs. Is that your airway clearance technique that you still use....is it the only airway clearance technique that you use? What air way clearance technique(s) did you find most helpful for you?
I ask because your CT is stable, nebulizing is limited to the decision made by you and your doctor and you had a short go of it with the antibiotics and "no vest/rarely resort to postural drainage. Does that also mean you are clear of any MAC infection? I can't remember what the most recent sputum test you did reported.
Hoping I get a good sputum test report this month coming.

Well, the sputum results won't be back until probably 4th of July. I use yoga poses, brisk walking (most effective for me), huff coughing and breathing exercises, and my friend the Aerobika, depending on the day.
I would call my "routine" more of a day-to-day experiment, even after 7 years!
