Does anyone else have a lack of clearance after nebulizing?

I'm so sorry to confuse you, but if you have an active infection, group 4 doesn't apply. I didn't think enough about you saying you couldn't tolerate big 3 and should've asked more questions so that those with MAC experience could advise. I just remembered my frustration and time spent before my cultures came back negative. So...
What did National Jewish advise you to do for treatment of your MAC?
Did you meet with respiratory therapy for airway clearance while you were there? What is your current routine?
If your trip was recent, I'd think you could contact your doc's nurse line to get advise.
Here's a McShane presentation on airway clearance that might help.

@sueinmn I strayed out of my sinus and just bronchiectasis lane here into MAC and didn't give best advice. Since you've a lot of experience with MAC and clearance, do you have some tips for her?

You hit it right on.
The only suggestion, something that helps me, is to nebulize the saline, then walk, exercise or do some housework before trying to do airway clearance. This gives the the saline time to penetrate. Do you use anything to thin what mucus you do have?
