@avalr I too have found the Autogenic drainage to be the best way for me to expel the mucus, although I don’t lay on my back. My routine is: levelbuteral (bronchodilator) wait 10-15 then 7% saline and I sit up while nebbing the saline & every few minutes I take a small sip of water, I find that really helps thin the mucus and makes me want to cough. I try to do the 4 minute one but find I can’t make it thru the whole 4 minutes because I would choke on all the mucus I cough up. Usually every 5-7 minutes while nebbing the saline I stop the compressor and do a round of 4 minute AD, then start back in again. My whole A.M. routine takes about an hour. The mucus is the worst in the morning because it has settled overnight and is dehydrated. Has your Dr. told you where the worst of your BE is? (Lobe location). I commend you for being able to lie on your back and do the AD. I don’t believe I would be able to with the amount of mucus I produce. I totally agree with you about keep living life, I think we all just have to do the best we can for ourselves and each other. That’s what makes this forum so special to me.
