@jillcrawford @scoop I am totally beside myself and all can probably tell by how many times I have asked questions about our mucus and mucus plugs etc.
I have been bringing up mucus plugs with the morning and evening therapy...saline/AC/huff cougning. I clear all into a clear solo cup that I have a least 20 or more mucus plugs each session of late. I wake up each night several times and have to take time to clear the mucus out before going back to sleep.
I also have to clear my throat all day long in between therapy sessions because of this annoying feeling of sputum/phlegm/mucus, or whatever it is. This sputum/phlegm/mucus, or what ever it is, seems to never stop coming up to my throat...and I have learned to suck it up and out. It is especially worse after I eat.
Questions: Scoop, do you have any of the above concerns as I?
jillcrawford, Do you have any of the above concerns as I? You did mention mucus plugs.
Hope you feel comfortable with my questions.
Have either of you heard or know if the worse the inflammation becomes the mucus plugs increase?
I have no shortness of breath, including when I do my walking exercise. Overall I feel well, but at times find myself losing energy towards the middle of the day. I know at 83 I have to expect a bit of less energy level but I think it is somewhat related to the energy given to doing the total therapy that goes along with nebulizing????
I see the pulmonologist the end of the month and have taken a picture of the solo cup with all that ends up in it to show him........I am going to ask for the Brinsupri.
