Hi Sue,
You are invaluable here in our community. You always generously share your practice and knowledge. Recently you mentioned in one of your postings that for 4 years you have not had an exacerbation. Looking back what made the difference from being very sick to exacerbation free in your case. I have had many infections this past year, now I am on azithromycin and brisupri both. I hope I can turn around without azithromycin soon. I understand it is pretty hard to nail down something, since we are always evaluating, tweaking our daily practice. But any idea would be appreciated.
Many thanks!
Ling

@wangling I am not sure how to answer this...let me say that I have focused on healthy diet, exercise, good sleep, and learning to "read" my body.
I just came in from a morning of strenuous chores, and my husband remarked that I looked very tired. That is my hint to rest - so no more extra chores for me today, just a good lunch, and maybe a little painting this afternoon after either a rest or a nap.
Whenever I feel "low" I immediately go on the offensive - more rest, more airway work, more nebs. Usually this prevents me from becoming ill. This is a huge difference for me - I used to try to "power through" and then I would crash.
Does your body warn you before an infection? How do you respond?
