@joyeous So true.
Look how long it took for the medical field to understand BE aside from emphysema etc. or how longs it sometimes takes to find a doctor that understands what to do for BE patients. Learnings and answers come but not always as soon as needed.
Research, research....yet no matter how much I did of that before finally getting the doctor's attention to my saying "something is wrong" the answer didn't come until he felt a C Scan was necessary....due to my 35lb weight loss over the year's time.

@blm1007blm1007 that’s why I totally believe that BE was misdiagnosed as emphysema or Bronchitis for YEARS!!! I think in the past Dr.s associated that if you had increased mucus and SOB. It was COPD.
