Thanks Scoop. I had 3 infections in 6 months. I thought I was doing a good job in airway clearance, since I work hard. I don't understand why. I am a very active person, no immunity issues. 3 infections were all from staph, my pulmonologist thinks I have staph colonization. Right now he and my Id doctor both agree that I am on preventive antibiotics. They are hopeful that brensocatib may help me. I certainly hope so.
I do take mucinex and NAC. Still feel the mucus is sticky.
I remember you mentioned before that you do the evening airway clearance before dinner, do you need to do it again before bed?

My present habit is morning and an hour or so before bedtime.

When you take a deep breath hold it for 4 secs and then blow out ALL the air out of your lungs. You should hear rumbles crackling after that.
