@narelled23 Like you I have taken myself off Symbicort from time to time thinking the issues were solely from bronchiectasis. Those trials never ended well, sadly. Given my allergic profile verified by skin testing, high eosinophils, and symptoms over time I have come to accept my asthma/bronchiectasis diagnosis.

Have you considered Brinsupri? While I've been on it less than 2 months, I believe it has helped with inflammation as there is less mucus and coughing. I still need to do airway clearance. It does not replace the steroid inhaler for now but maybe over time the steroid dose may able to be reduced. Time will tell.

@scoop
Just lost a lengthy reply to you...sorry...on phone.

Back on Symbicort which seems to be helping my sob. Was so concerned that the sob was my new normal! Making an appointment with Asthma Foundation here to get expert input and am hoping to get back more quality of life.
Haven't considered Brinsupri at this point.

Wishing you great success with it. Fingers crossed.
