@blm1007blm1007 I'll probably have a CT later this year. To my knowledge I have not had a NTM infection. Over the years I've submitted a lot of sputum samples and none has picked it up.

Have you considered Brinsupri? Sounds like you might benefit from it.

@scoop I am not ready to start Brinsupri.
I do understand "you might benefit from it."
With my feeling fine and BE my only problem at 83 years of age.... and just that the mucus is annoying......... I am sticking with my life long 'rule' ....no matter what I am considefing...... including drugs......" If it hasn't been out for a good period of time I'm not ready to try it."
I have not had to be on any medications prior to the BE diagnosis. So for now it's just the nebulizing of the saline.
I have had a low load of MAI that was diagnosed in 2023 but I am sure I had it for a couple of years before that due to what I brought up once in a while. It was a small green sticky jell substance, 1/2 the size of a dime.....I no longer have that...the green. My mucus is light yellow now.
I will look forward to hear about your journey as you go along and especially results of the CT.
Thanks scoop for your reply and all you have helped with your posts.
